Based on the given information, you can write the following equations for the costs:

y1 = 35x + 75

y2 = 38x

If the cost is the same for both companies, you have:

35x + 75 = 38x

you can solve the previous equation for x to determine the number of people:

35x + 75 = 38x subtract 35x both sides

75 = 38x - 35x

75 = 3x divide by 3 both sides

75/3 = x

25 = x

Hence, the number of people is 25
