Answer:
Company needs to sell at least 34 tickets in order to make a profit.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Rent for the space = $300
Cost per tickets = $9
Let the number of tickets sold be 'x'
We need to find the least number of tickets to be sold to make profit
Now total profit can be made if amount which is made after selling number of tickets is greater than 300.
Hence the equation can be framed as,

Solving the equation to find the value of x we get;
We will use Division property and divide both side by 9 we get;

Tickets which need to be sell cannot be in point value hence rounding to whole number we get;

Hence Company needs to sell at least 34 tickets in order to make a profit.
Answer: 13
Althoug each round trip takes 9 minutes and can carry 5 people on the boat, you can not just divide the 20 minutes time by 9 and multiply by 5 to find the number of people that are saved without getting wet.
First trip:
5 people take the boat to the island but only 4 can stay, because one has to return with the boat to the ship to rescue other 4 people.
So, when 9 minutes have passed, 4 people are safe on the island and the boat is again by the ship.
Second trip:
In the second trip, other 4 people are rescued,along with "sailor" who returned in the boat to rescue them.
When it has passed 18 minutes, the boat is next to the ship agin to carry other 4 people before the boat sinks.
This is the last trip before the boat sinks. So, the total number of passengers rescued is 4 + 4 + 5 = 13
