Answer 1

To determine which charter company is a 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 * 10 = $250
• Total cost: $250 + $250 = $500

Catamaran Command:

• Boat rental: $75
• Cost per person: $50 * 10 = $500
• Total cost: $75 + $500 = $575

Now, we compare the total costs:

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

Since $500 is less than $575, the group should choose Maritime Voyage.

Looking at the responses provided, the correct choice matches with: Maritime Voyage; choose this charter for more than 7 customers.
