Two groups of workers have their drinks at a stall. The first group comprising ten workers has five cups of tea, two cups of coffee and three glasses of fruit juice at a total cost of RM 11.80. The second group of six workers has three cups of tea, a cup of coffee and two glasses of fruit juice at a total cost of RM 7.10. The cost of a cup of tea and three glasses of fruit juice is the same as the cost of four cups of coffee. If the costs of a cup of tea, a cup of coffee and a glass of fruit juice are RM x, RM y and RM z respectively, obtain a matrix equation to represent the above information. Hence, determine the cost of each drink.
