What is the rule to find the number of people that can be transported by a certain number of ferries?

Answer 1

The rule for the table appears to be that each additional ferry can transport 12 more people.

To find if 15 ferries can transport 93 people, we can calculate:
93 = 7 + (12 * 14)

Thus, 15 ferries should be able to transport 93 people based on the rule in the table.
