Answer 1

cost_of_flying_plane = 5000
number_of_passengers = 29
price_of_ticket = 200
returning_passengers = 12
profit = (number_of_passengers * price_of_ticket) - cost_of_flying_plane
print('The company makes of a profit of {} dollars'.format(profit))

total_profit_loss = (returning_passengers * price_of_ticket) - cost_of_flying_plane - profit
if total_profit_loss > 0:
    print('The company makes of a total profit of {} dollars'.format(total_profit_loss))
else:
    print('The company receives a total loss of {} dollars'.format(total_profit_loss))
