\left[\begin{array}{ccc}150&160&180\end{array}\right]\\\\Answer:\ B)\ \left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&0&0\\0&4&0\\0&0&4\end{array}\right]


Check:\\\\\left[\begin{array}{ccc}150&160&180\end{array}\right] \cdot\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&0&0\\0&4&0\\0&0&4\end{array}\right]


=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}(150)(4)+(160)(0)+(180)(0)&(150)(0)+(160)(4)+(180)(0)&(150)(0)+(160)(0)+(180)(4)\end{array}\right]


=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}600&640&720\end{array}\right]

Cost of four of each of the tickets:


Chicago:4\cdot\$150=\$600\\\\Boston:4\cdot\$160=\$640\\\\Dallas:4\cdot\$180=\$720

CORRECT :)
