Answer

The difference in prices between city B and city A is: $B-A=\begin{bmatrix} -0.5 & 0.5 &0.75\\ -0.5 & 0.5 & 0.75 \end{bmatrix}$

Work Step by Step

We have: $A=\begin{bmatrix} 4.5 & 6 & 2.5\\ 5.5 & 8 & 2.5 \end{bmatrix}$ $B=\begin{bmatrix} 4 & 6.5 & 3.25\\ 5 & 8.5 & 3.25 \end{bmatrix}$ $B-A=\begin{bmatrix} 4-4.5 & 6.5-6 & 3.25-2.5\\ 5-5.5 & 8.5-8 & 3.25-2.5 \end{bmatrix}$ $=\begin{bmatrix} -0.5 & 0.5 &0.75\\ -0.5 & 0.5 & 0.75 \end{bmatrix}$
