The act of simplifying something such that it is simpler to carry out or understand, or the thing that is the product of this simplifying process: The group offers suggestions for streamlining business processes. This grossly oversimplifies what actually transpired. See.

We have been given that

For option 1

Airfare = $x

Hotel = $600

For option 2

Airfare = $0.75x

Hotel = $800

Only 10 family members can attend if they choose Option 1.

10x + $600 .........eq 1.

12 family members can attend the reunion if they choose Option 2.

12(0.75)x + $800

9x + $800 ........eq 2.

By using Eq (1) and Eq (2)

10x + $600 = 9x + $800

10x - 9x = $800 - $600

x = $200

Put the value of x in the eq (1)

Then we get 10x + $600

= 10 x 200 + $600

= 2000 + $600

=  $2600

Hence ,  the cost of airfare for Option 1 is  $2600.
