Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Parameters:

Miami

$220 = 74 Passengers

Let x represent the number of passengers

For x <= 75, there is no refund

Cost is $220

220x = 14985

x = 14985/230 = 68.1

69 passengers

For x > 74

Cost is $220 - $5 = $215

215x = 14985

x = 14985/215

= 69.9

70 passengers
