Statement2: We don't know the cost per person of regular flight --> insufficient

The cost to charter a certain airplane is x dollars. If the 25 members of a club chartered the plane and shared the cost equally, what was the cost per member?

(1) If there had been 5 more members and all 30 had shared the cost equally, the cost per member would have been $40 less.
(2) The cost per member was 10 percent less than the cost per person on a regularly scheduled flight.

 
The answer is A. Tip for DS- work on question stem first.­

No. “Would have been $40 less” means exactly $40 less, not “less than $40.” It indicates a difference of precisely $40 between the two per member costs. So, if x is the total charter cost, then:

x/25 = x/30 + 40
