Option A: $15 per person. Option B: $10. per person plus a flat fee of $120. Write an equation that will represent the cost for each option.

For option one your equation is: 15x=c
For option two your equation is 10x+120=c
To solve for the last part of your question, set the equations equal to eachother(since they both equal c) and solve.
10x+120=15x
120=5x
X= 24
