Question a) KTM Berhad is conducting a survey on its daily ETS services to find its cost effectiveness between Ipoh and KL Sentral. It currently provides three types of services - Platinum, Gold and Silver. The price of each ticket for adult per single trip is RM45, RM35 and RM25 respectively. If 100 Platinum, 180 Gold and 200 Silver tickets were sold on a selected trip on Saturday, 120 Platinum, 200 Gold and 250 Silver tickets were sold on a selected trip on Sunday and 80 Platinum, 150 Gold and 180 Silver tickets were sold on a selected trip on Monday, find the total revenue collected over the 3 days for the selected trips.

The number of tickets sold on Tuesday was 80 Platinum, 150 Gold and 380 Silver. The number of tickets sold on Wednesday was 100 Platinum, 120 Gold and 560 Silver. The number of tickets sold on Thursday was 80 Platinum, 200 Gold and 280 Silver. If the revenue collected on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday was RM10,000, RM12,000 and RM10,000 respectively, find the price of each ticket for Platinum, Gold and Silver using matrix and Cramer's Rule, to make this campaign a success.
