Answer 1

trip G at 1000 miles earning 5 points a mile plus an extra 20 for every 500

Answer 2

My Sky Airline gives more points, 33,350 points.

Explanation:

Flyaway Airline

5 points for every mile flown plus a bonus of 20 points for every trip over 500 miles.

My Sky Airline

7 points for every mile flown plus a bonus of 30 points for each trip.

The itinerary has a total of 4,730 miles and 8 trips.

So, Flyaway Airline would give

`5 * 4730=23650`

There are 5 tripes over 500 miles, so

`20 * 5 =100`

Therefore, Flyaway Airline gives a total of 23,750 points.

On the other hand, My Sky Airline would give

`7 * 4730 = 33110`

There are 8 total trips, so

`30 * 8 = 240`

Therefore, My Sky Airline would give a total of 33,350 points.

So, with that itinerary, My Sky Airline gives more points, 33,350 points.
