What is the best interpretation of 88e as shown in the equation?Choose 1 answer:(A) There are 88e economy seats on the flight.(B) The total cost due to economy seats is 88e dollars.(C) The increase in total cost for each economy seat sold is 88e dollars.(D) The increase in total cost is 88e dollars when economy seat prices increase by 1 dollar.
Q. C=24f+88eThe cost in collars, C, from an airplane flight given that the average cost of a first class seat is f dollars and the average cost of an economy seat is e dollars is given by the equation if all seats are sold.

Total Cost Representation: The equation C=24f+88e represents the total cost, C, of all seats sold on a flight.
First Class Cost: The term 24f represents the total cost from first class seats, where f is the cost of one first class seat.
Economy Cost: The term 88e represents the total cost from economy seats, where e is the cost of one economy seat.
Total Economy Cost: Since e represents the cost of one economy seat, 88e means 88 times the cost of one economy seat.
Clarification: This means that 88e is the total cost due to economy seats, not the number of seats or the increase in cost per seat or when prices increase.
