Answer 1

To determine which charter company is the better choice for a group of 10 customers, we need to calculate the total cost for each company.

Maritime Voyage:

• Boat rental: $250
• Cost per person: $25
• Total cost for 10 customers = $250 + ($25 × 10)
  = $250 + $250
  = $500

Catamaran Command:

• Boat rental: $75
• Cost per person: $50
• Total cost for 10 customers = $75 + ($50 × 10)
  = $75 + $500
  = $575

Now, comparing the two total costs:

• Maritime Voyage: $500
• Catamaran Command: $575

The cheaper option for a group of 10 customers is Maritime Voyage.

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