To find the rate of change, we can look at the relationship between the number of people and the cost.

As the number of people increases by 1, the cost increases by $55.

Therefore, the rate of change is $55 per person.

This means that for each additional person, the cost to rent the fishing charter boat increases by $55.
What is the answer in fraciton form?
The rate of change, $55 per person, can be expressed as the fraction 55/1.
