I basically need all these set up to solve them because I'm struggling a bit

Answer 1

1 Let x represent the number of people sharing the vacation rental in Orlando.

2 The 3-day ticket rate per person plus the total rental cost is $299 + $872.50 = $1171.50.

3 The total amount paid per person for the trip, assuming Marissa and Mykuria are able to get enough friends to come on the trip so that the vacation rental house will be at maximum capacity, is $1171.50/x = $361.25/person.
