    2 movie tickets and 3 snacks are $24. 3 movie tickets and 4 snacks are $35. How much is a movie ticket and how much is a snack?

    Let a movie ticket cost be m, and a snack cost be s. We have:

    2m + 3s = 24.3
    3m + 4s = 35

    Using the simultaneous equations calculator, we get:

    m = $7.8
    s = $2.9
