Question

Two institutions decided to award their employees for the three values of resourcefulness, competence and determination in the form of prices at the rate of Rs. x, y and z respectively per person. The first institution decided to award respectively 4, 3 and 2 employees with a total price money of Rs. 37000 and the second institution decided to award respectively 5, 3 and 4 employees with a total price money of Rs. 47000. If all the three prices per person together amount to Rs. 12000 then using matrix method find the value of x, y and z. What values are described in this equations?
