    The break-even number of passengers per flight is c. 98

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Average fare per seat = $400

    Fixed costs for the flight = $32,000

    Variable costs per passenger = $75

    Break-even number of passengers per flight = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per passenger

    Contribution margin per passenger = 400-75

    So, break-even number of passenger per flight = 32,000 / (400-75)

    = 32,000/325

    = 98

    The break-even number of passengers per flight is c. 98

    The correct option is C.
