To determine which charter company is more cost-effective 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
- Number of customers: 10
Total cost for Maritime Voyage: \[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Boat Rental} + (\text{Cost per Person} \times \text{Number of Customers}) \] \[ \text{Total Cost} = 250 + (25 \times 10) = 250 + 250 = 500 \]
Catamaran Command:
- Boat rental: $75
- Cost per person: $50
- Number of customers: 10
Total cost for Catamaran Command: \[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Boat Rental} + (\text{Cost per Person} \times \text{Number of Customers}) \] \[ \text{Total Cost} = 75 + (50 \times 10) = 75 + 500 = 575 \]
Now, let's compare the total costs:
- Maritime Voyage: $500
- Catamaran Command: $575
For a group of 10 customers, Maritime Voyage is the more affordable option at $500 compared to Catamaran Command at $575.
Summary:
- Choose Maritime Voyage for 10 customers.
