Question

x y
A(0.2 0.8)3000
B(0.5 0.5)2000
C(0.7 0.3)5000

Where A, B, C are countries, and x and y are resorts. The Matrix represents the percent of visitors.

I need to use this matrix which I have worked out to find the number of visitors who visit X (X and Y are resorts) in a given year using the numbers of visitors to both are 3000, 2000 and 5000 respectively.

Im now a bit unsure how to go forward with constructing the linear equation to use.

Would it be:

0.2x +0.8y =3000
0.5x +0.5y =2000
0.7x +0.3y =5000

Answer 1

I think the total to X is
.2*3000 + .5*2000 + .7*5000

X = |.2 .5 .7 | times the column
3000
2000
5000

so I would write { X Y } column=
|.2 .5 .7|
|.8 .5 .3|

times the column
3000
2000
5000

Thanks Damon, I think I was over complicating things!
