Answer 1

To determine which charter company is more cost-effective for a group of 10 customers, we can calculate the total cost for each company.

For Maritime Voyage:

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

For Catamaran Command:

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

Now we can compare the total costs:

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

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

The correct response is: Maritime Voyage; choose this charter for more than 7 customers.
