So hmm let's take a peek at the cost first
so, they chartered the plane for 150 folks with a fixed cost of 250,000
now, incidental fees are 300 per person, if we use the quantity "x", for how many folks, then if "x" persons are booked, then incidental fees are 300x
so, more than likely an insurance agency is charging them 300x for coverage
anyway, thus the cost C(x) = 250,000 + 300x
now, the Revenue R(x), is simple is jut price * quantity
well, the price, thus far we know is 5000 for 80 folks, but it can be lowered by 30 to get one more person, thus increasing profits
so... let's see what the price say y(x) is
so.. now we know y(x) = -30x+7400
now, Revenue is just price * quantity
the price y(x) is -30x+7400, the quantity is "x"
that simply means R(x) = -30x²+7400x
now, for the profit P(x)
the profit is simple, that is just incoming revenue minus costs, whatever is left, is profit
so P(x) = R(x) - C(x)
P(x) = (7400x - 30x²) - (250,000+300x)
P(x) = -30x² + 7100x - 250,000
now, where does it get maximized? namely, where's the maximum for P(x)?
well
and as you can see, if you zero out the derivative, there's only 1 critical point, run a first-derivative test on it, to see if its a maximum

Hi there!
<u><em>FACTS</em></u><em> :</em>
<em>To see if multiple ratios are proportional, you can write them as fractions, reduce them, and compare them. If the reduced fractions are all the same, then you have proportionnal ratios. You can also write them as fractions and divide the numerator (top number) by its denominator (bottom number), and compare the decimal numbers the same way you would compare the fractions (I personnaly find this method easier because you don't need to simplify the fractions).</em>
<u>STEPS TO ANSWER:</u>
x = 1 ; y = 90 → 1 ÷ 90 = <u>0.01111111...</u>
x = 2 ; y = 150 → 2 ÷ 150 = <u>0.0133333...</u>
x = 3 ; y = 210 → 3 ÷ 210 = <u>0.01428571</u>
x = 4 ; y = 270 → 4 ÷ 270 = <u>0.0148148...</u>
x = 5 ; y = 330 → 5 ÷ 330 = <u>0.01515152</u>
<em>** You didn't really need to calculate them all because even the first two decimal numbers weren't equivalent, but I wanted to show you the whole process so I calculated them all.</em>
⇒ If you compare all the decimals you got, you can easily see that they are not the same, which means that the ratios between the values of "x" and the values of "y" are not proportional. Therefore, George's reasoning wasn't good.
There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)
Actually, the answer is not A, if you're saying A is the first choice above. That's incorrect. You will need to use the Geometric mean for right triangles here to figure out what the value of a is. We will use this form: 
. We have a value for YZ of 3; side a is XZ. That means in order to solve this we need WZ, which we can find using pythagorean's theorem. 3^2 + 4^2 = c^2 and 9 + 16 = c^2 and c = 5. Now we fill in accordingly: 
. Cross-multiply to get 3XZ=25 and side XZ is 
. XZ is 25/3 and YZ is 3, so 25/3 - 3 = XY. That means that XY (side a) = 16/3 or 5 1/3, choice B, or the second one down.
