Answer 1

Hey.

Here is the answer.

For breakeven : no profit no loss

Company sold 16728 economy class tickets

so, loss = 184×16728 = 3077952

As as there is no loss so he must get profit of 3077952 on business class tickets

so, no. of business class tickets

= 3077952/1472

= 2091

So, for breakeven it should shell 2091 tickets.


Thanks.
