Question

Assume Maine Line Railway is considering hiring a reservations agency to handle passenger reservations. The agency would charge a flat fee of $ 14,000 per​ month, plus $ 1 per passenger reservation. What is the total reservation cost if 200,000 passengers take the trip next​ month?

Answer 1

$214,000

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the situation explained, the total reservation cost will be the result of adding up the flat fee plus the result of the cost per passenger reservation for the number of passengers:

Flat fee: $14,000

Cost per passenger reservation: $1

number of passengers: 200,000

Total reservation cost= $14,000+($1*200,000)

Total reservation cost= $14,000+$200,000

Total reservation cost= $214,000

The total reservation cost is $214,000.

Answer 2

$214,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The total reservation cost per month is given by the following expression:

`R = \$14,000+\$1*n`

Where 'n' is the number of monthly reservations.

If there are 200,000 reservations for passengers taking a trip next month, the reservation cost is:

`R = \$14,000+\$1*200,000\\R=\$214,000`

Total reservation cost is $214,000.
