Ryan, Michelle, and Emily are at an amusement park together: 

-Ryan spent \( \$ 13.50 \) to purchase \( 3 \) tickets for the Ferris wheel and \( 2 \) tickets for the water slide.

-Michelle spent \( \$ 16.50 \) to purchase \( 1 \) ticket for the Ferris wheel and \( 4 \) tickets for the merry-go-round. 

- Emily spent \( \$ 14 \) to purchase \( 3 \) tickets for the Ferris wheel, \( 1 \) ticket for the water slide, and \( 1 \) ticket for the merry-go-round. 

Let \( x , y \) , and \( z \) represent the ticket cost for the Ferris wheel, water slide, and merry-go-round, respectively. Which matrix equation can be solved to find the cost of each type of ticket? 

A.\(\left[ \begin{array} { l l l } { 3 } & { 1 } & { 3 } \\ { 2 } & { 0 } & { 1 } \\ { 0 } & { 4 } & { 1 } \end{array} \right] \left[ \begin{array} { l } { x } \\ { y } \\ { z } \end{array} \right] = \left[ \begin{array} { c } { 13.5 } \\ { 16.5 } \\ { 14 } \end{array} \right] \) 

B.\( \left[ \begin{array} { l l l } { 3 } & { 1 } & { 3 } \\ { 0 } & { 4 } & { 1 } \\ { 2 } & { 0 } & { 1 } \end{array} \right] \left[ \begin{array} { l } { x } \\ { y } \\ { z } \end{array} \right] = \left[ \begin{array} { c } { 13.5 } \\ { 16.5 } \\ { 14 } \end{array} \right] \) 

C.\( \left[ \begin{array} { l l l } { 3 } & { 2 } & { 0 } \\ { 1 } & { 0 } & { 4 } \\ { 3 } & { 1 } & { 1 } \end{array} \right] \left[ \begin{array} { c } { x } \\ { y } \\ { z } \end{array} \right] = \left[ \begin{array} { l } { 13.5 } \\ { 16.5 } \\ { 14 } \end{array} \right] \) 

D.\( \left[ \begin{array} { l l l } { 3 } & { 0 } & { 2 } \\ { 1 } & { 4 } & { 0 } \\ { 3 } & { 1 } & { 1 } \end{array} \right] \left[ \begin{array} { c } { x } \\ { y } \\ { z } \end{array} \right] = \left[ \begin{array} { c } { 13.5 } \\ { 16.5 } \\ { 14 } \end{array} \right]\)
