.

Answer 1

Based on the given table, a round-trip first-class ticket by ship from New York to London costs $775.20, while a first-class ticket by air costs $754.30. To calculate the percentage savings of taking first-class by air instead of by ship, we need to find the difference in prices and express it as a percentage of the ship fare.

Let's calculate the percentage savings step by step:

1. Find the difference in prices between ship and air fares:

Price difference = Ship fare - Air fare

Price difference = $775.20 - $754.30

Price difference = $20.90

2. Calculate the percentage savings:

Percentage savings = (Price difference / Ship fare) * 100

Percentage savings = ($20.90 / $775.20) * 100

Percentage savings ≈ 2.7%

Therefore, the percentage savings (to the nearest tenth) for taking first-class by air instead of by ship is approximately 2.7%.

Answer 2

A round-trip first-class ticket by ship from New York to London costs $20.90 more than first-class by air.

The percentage savings (to the nearest tenth) for taking first-class by air instead of by ship is 2.7%.

Explanation:

According to the given table (see attachment):

• The cost of a round-trip first-class ticket by air from New York to London is $754.30.
• The cost of a round-trip first-class ticket by ship from New York to London is $775.20.

To calculate how much more the ticket by ship costs than the ticket by air, subtract the latter from the former:

`\begin{aligned}\sf Ship\;ticket-Air\;ticket&=\$775.20-\$754.30\\&=\$20.90\end{aligned}`

Therefore, a round-trip first-class ticket by ship from New York to London costs $20.90 more than first-class by air.

To calculate the percentage savings for taking first-class by air instead of by ship, divide the difference between the ticket prices ($20.90) by the cost of the ticket by ship ($775.20), and multiply the answer by 100:

`\begin{aligned}\sf Percentage\;savings&=(\$20.90)/(\$775.20) * 100\\\\&=0.02696078... * 100\\\\&=2.696078...\%\\\\&=2.7\% \; \sf (nearest\;tenth)\end{aligned}`

Therefore, the percentage savings (to the nearest tenth) for taking first-class by air instead of by ship is 2.7%.
