Average movie prices in the United States are, in general, lower than in other countries. It would cost $77.79 to buy three tickets in Japan plus two tickets in Switzerland. Three tickets in Switzerland plus two tickets in Japan would cost $73.91. How much does an average movie ticket cost in each of these countries?

Answer:

{Japan: $25.93} {Switzerland: $22.05}

Step-by-step explanation:

It's simple to solve for Japan but for Switzerland you got to do some reverse math.

For Japan all you gotta do is divide the given total by three because you're finding how much one ticket costs and not three. so there you have $25.93

For Switzerland here comes the reverse math. you have to take your $25.93 times 2 because is says "plus two tickets in Japan" so you have $51.86

Now that you've figured out the total of two tickets in Japan, you can subtract that from the given total ($73.91) and the answer is $22.05
