your equation takes the form

cost = nx + b, where x is the number of boys, n is the cost per boy and b is the constant

given: (150,10000) and (120,8400)
cost per boy = (10000 - 8400)/(150-120)
= 160/3
(notice this is just like finding the "slope" )

so
Cost = (160/3)x + b
use of the cases, (150,10000)
10000 = (160/3)(150) + b
b = 2000

cost = (160/3)x + 2000
when x = 330
cost = (160/3)(330) + 2000 = 19600
