Answer:

The average movie ticket in Switzerland is $13.73 and in Japan is $17.46

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that it will cost  $79.84 to buy 3 tickets in Japan +2 tickets in Switzerland and $76.11  for 3 tickets in Switzerland +2 tickets in Japan then you can form simultaneous equations as show;

3J + 2S = $79.84

2J +3S=$76.11

Where J is for tickets Japan and S is for tickets in Switzerland

Solving the simultaneous equations

(3J + 2S = 79.84)2

(2J +3S=76.11 )3

Making the J side equal by cross product

6J+4S=159.68

6J+9S=228.33

Eliminating the J side by subtraction

5S=68.65

Dividing both sides by 5 to remain with S

5S/5=68.65/5

S=13.73

using the value of S in equation 3J+2S=79.84

3J+2(13.73)=79.84

3J+27.46=79.84

3J=79.84-27.46

3J=52.38

J=52.38/3 = 17.46

The average movie ticket in Switzerland is $13.73 and in Japan is $17.46
