Answer 1

To find the rate of change, we can calculate the change in cost per change in the number of people. Let's use the data provided for the calculations:

- Change in cost from 2 to 3 people:
\( 222 - 148 = 74 \)
Change in people: \( 3 - 2 = 1 \)
Rate of change = \( \frac{74}{1} = 74 \)

So, for every additional person, the cost increases by $74.

Now we can fill in the responses:

- The rate of change is **74/1**, and it represents **cost of a ticket per person** in this context.
