Three tickets in Switzerland plus two tickets in Japan would cost $75.72. How much does an average movie ticket cost in each of these countries?
3j + 2s = 79.63 --- times 3 --- 9j + 6s = 238.89
2j + 3s = 75.72 --- times 2 --- 4j + 6s = 151.44
subtract:
5j = 87.45
j = 17.49
sub into original first:
3(17.49) + 2s = 79.63
s = 13.58
