Answer:

Cost in India: $7500

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent cost in India with I and cost in United States as U.

Given

[tex]U = 3400[/tex]

[tex]U = 4000 + 4 * I[/tex]

Required

Find I

Simply substitute 34000 for U in the second equation

[tex]34000 = 4000 + 4 * I[/tex]

[tex]34000 = 4000 + 4I[/tex]

Solve for 4I

[tex]4I = 34000 - 4000[/tex]

[tex]4I = 30000[/tex]

Solve for I

[tex]I = 30000/4[/tex]

[tex]I = 7500[/tex]

Hence, the cost in India is $7500
