Answer 1

To determine which charter is more cost-effective for a group of 10 customers, we can calculate the total cost for both Maritime Voyage and Catamaran Command.

Maritime Voyage:

• Boat rental = $250
• Cost per person = $25 * 10 customers = $250
• Total cost = Boat rental + Cost per person = $250 + $250 = $500

Catamaran Command:

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

Now we compare the total costs:

• Maritime Voyage total cost = $500
• Catamaran Command total cost = $575

Since $500 (Maritime Voyage) is less than $575 (Catamaran Command), the group should choose Maritime Voyage.

So the correct response is:

Maritime Voyage; choose this charter for less than 13 customers.
