The price per person to rent a limousine for a prom varies inversely as the number of passengers. If 5 people rent the limousine, the cost is $70 each. How many people are renting the limousine when the cost per couple is $18.50?
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "p = k/n
\n" ); document.write( "70 = k/5
\n" ); document.write( "k = 350
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation for this limo:
\n" ); document.write( "p = 350/n
\n" ); document.write( "How many people are renting the limousine when the cost per couple is $18.50?
\n" ); document.write( "Note: If couple pays 18.50, p = $9.25
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "9.25 = 350/n
\n" ); document.write( "n = 350/9.25
\n" ); document.write( "n = 37.84
\n" ); document.write( "Rounding up you get n= 38
\n" ); document.write( "===========================
