30 + 75p = 405

anonymous · Answer

can you solve for passengers now?

anonymous · Answer

I came up with this by thinking.... She gets 30 no matter how many passengers she has so that is a constant. Then she gets 75 per passenger, so that is 75 times passengers and that gives you the total

Let X = money earned and P= # passengers

X= $75(P) + 30 = $405

75P=375

P= 5
