To find the minimum number of people for the group rate to be a better deal, we need to compare the total cost of both options.
Option 1: Individual Rate: $12.99 per person
Option 2: Group Rate: $8.99 per person + $20 reservation fee
Let's calculate the cost for each option:
Option 1:
Cost per person = $12.99
Total cost for x people = $12.99 * x
Option 2:
Cost per person = $8.99
Reservation fee = $20
Total cost for x people = ($8.99 * x) + $20
Now, we need to find the minimum number of people (x) for which the group rate is a better deal. This means the total cost for option 2 should be less than the total cost for option 1.
Equation:
($8.99 * x) + $20 < $12.99 * x
Let's solve this inequality:
$8.99 * x + $20 < $12.99 * x
$20 < $12.99 * x - $8.99 * x
$20 < $4 * x
$5 < x
So, the minimum number of people (x) for the group rate to be a better deal is 5.
Therefore, the correct answer is C: 5 people.
