Answer:

Explanation:

Sky High $50 = 10 people so on $5 each person

Jump it up $70 fee then $2 per person

90 for 10 people at jump it up

100 for 15 people at jump it up

75 for 15 at sky high

110 for 20 people at jump it up

100 for 20 at sky high

118 for 24 people at jump it up

120 for 24 people at sky high

the minimum number of friends for it to be cheaper at jump it up is 24 friends since it would be $118 compared to $120 at sky high

the set up fee of 70 then 2 per friend compared to 50 for 10 to start then 5 each makes it come down to 24 friends in all for jump it up to be cheaper minimum anything lower sky high is cheaper
