Work Step by Step

$a.$ No wind $\Rightarrow x=500+0.$ $C(500)=100+\displaystyle \frac{500}{10}+\frac{36,000}{500}$ $=100+50+72$ $={{\$}} 222$ $b.$ Head wind blows in the opposite direction of flight: $x=500-50$ $C(450)=100+\displaystyle \frac{450}{10}+\frac{36,000}{450}$ $=100+45+80$ $={{\$}} 225$ $c.$ Tail wind blows in the same direction as flight: $x=500+100$ $C(600)=100+\displaystyle \frac{600}{10}+\frac{36,000}{600}$ $=100+60+60$ $={{\$}} 220$ $d.$ Head wind blows in the opposite direction of flight: $x=500-100$ $C(400)=100+\displaystyle \frac{400}{10}+\frac{36,000}{400}$ $=100+40+90$ $={{\$}} 230$
