the price per person of renting a bus varies inversely with the number of people renting the bus.
---
p = k/n
Find "k".
----
it costs $37 per person if 59 people rent the bus.
37 = k/59
k = 37*59 = 2183
---
Equation therefore is:
p = 2183/n
---
how much will it cost per person if 100 people rent the bus?
p = 2183/100
p = $21.83
