The price per person of renting a bus varies inversely with the number of people renting the bus.
\n" ); document.write( " It costs $20 per person if 56 people rent the bus.
\n" ); document.write( " How much will it cost per person if 58 people rent the bus?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "You can use an inverse proportion equation, x = cost when 58 people rent it
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2F20\" = \"56%2F58\"
\n" ); document.write( "58x = 20*56
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"1120%2F58\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = $19.31
\n" ); document.write( ":

\n" ); document.write( "Find the original total cost of the bus
\n" ); document.write( "20 * 56 = $1120
