Koen Salazar · Answer 1

Cheapo air : c = 0.15m + 55.75 ... for 1628 miles

c = 0.15 (1628) + 55.75

c = 244.20 + 55.75

C = 299.95

discount air : c = 0.10m + 175.55 ... for 1628 miles

c = 0.10 (1628) + 175.55

c = 162.80 + 175.55

c = 338.35

cheapo air has the cheapest option ... and u save (338.35 - 299.95) =

38.40.
