Answer 1

To determine which charter company the group should choose for 10 customers, we need to calculate the total cost for each company:

Maritime Voyage

• Boat rental: $250
• Cost per person: $25
• Number of customers: 10

Total cost for Maritime Voyage: \[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Boat rental} + (\text{Cost per person} \times \text{Number of customers}) \] \[ \text{Total Cost} = 250 + (25 \times 10) \] \[ \text{Total Cost} = 250 + 250 = 500 \]

Catamaran Command

• Boat rental: $75
• Cost per person: $50
• Number of customers: 10

Total cost for Catamaran Command: \[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Boat rental} + (\text{Cost per person} \times \text{Number of customers}) \] \[ \text{Total Cost} = 75 + (50 \times 10) \] \[ \text{Total Cost} = 75 + 500 = 575 \]

Conclusion

• Total cost for Maritime Voyage: $500
• Total cost for Catamaran Command: $575

Since Maritime Voyage ($500) is cheaper than Catamaran Command ($575) for 10 customers, the group should choose Maritime Voyage.

From the options available, the correct response is: Maritime Voyage; choose this charter for less than 13 customers.
