The profit earned in running a bus service is jointly proportional to the distance and the number of passen-gers over a certain fixed number. The profit is $80 when 30 passengers are carried a distance of 40 km and is $180 when 35 passengers are carried 60 km. What is the minimum num-ber of passengers that results in no loss

Hoi Chong Transport, Ltd., operates a fleet of delivery trucks in Singapore. The company has determined that if a truck is driven 93,000 kilometers during a year, the average operating cost is 9.2 cents per kilometer. If a truck is driven only 62,000 kilometers during a year, the average operating cost increases to 9.9 cents per kilometer. Using the high-low method, estimate the variable operating cost per kilometer and the annual fixed operating cost associated with the fleet of trucks. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round the Variable cost per kilometer to 3 decimal places.) Express the variable and fixed costs in the form Y = a + bX. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round the Variable cost per kilometer to 3 decimal places.) If a truck were driven 77,500 kilometers during a year, what total operating cost would you expect to be incurred?
