A travel agency is planning for a holiday for a group of people. The agency receives quotations

from two coach companies, Maya Express and Great Holidays. Maya Express charges $15 for

each person while Great Holidays charges a fixed amount of $84 and an extra of $12 per person. If the total amount charged by each

company is the same, find the number of people going on the holiday.

let x = number of people

15x = 84 + 12x
