Make an equation system based on the problem
eg. a is the first number and b is the seond number
An equation for "<span>The sum of two numbers is 53" is
</span>⇒ a + b = 53
An equation for "<span>twice the first number minus three times the second number is 26"
</span>⇒ 2a - 3b = 26
<span>
Solve the equations by elimination and subtitution method
Eliminate a to find the value of b
a + b = 53   (multiplied by 2)
2a - 3b = 26
--------------------------------------
2a + 2b = 106
2a -  3b = 26
------------------- - (substract)
       5b = 80
         b = 80/5
         b = 16

Subtitute the value of b to one of the equations
a + b = 53
a + 16 = 53
a = 53 - 16
a = 37

The numbers are 16 and 37</span>

Elenna [48]

The difference in price per passenger for a group of 16 versus a group of 10 is $26.25

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more number and variables.

From the graph:

The cost for a group of 16 friends is $2500, while for a group of 10 friends is $1300.

Cost per passenger for 16 friend = $2500 / 16 = $156.25

Cost per passenger for 10 friend = $1300 / 10 = $130

The difference in price = $156.25 - $130 = $26.25

The difference in price per passenger for a group of 16 versus a group of 10 is $26.25
