    Answer: $74

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let C represent the cost of a coach ticket

    Let B represent the cost of a business ticket

    Washington: 150C + 50B = 18,450

    NY City: 170C + 100B = 27,280

    Solve the system using the Elimination method:

    -2 (150C + 50B = 18,450) → - 300C - 100B = - 36,900

    1 (170C + 100B = 27,280) → 170C + 100B = 27,280

    -130C = - 9,620

    : - 130 : - 130

    C = 74
