Question 250862: The cost for manufacturing a CD varies inversely with the number of CDs made. If the cost is @2.50 per CD when 10,000 made, then what is the cost per Cd when 100,000 are made?
I set $2.50 over 10,000 equals x over 100,000. i got it would cost $25.0 to make a cd if making 100,000. But it didnt seem right.

The cost for manufacturing a CD varies inversely with the number of CDs made.
If the cost is @2.50 per CD when 10,000 made, then what is the cost per Cd when 100,000 are made?
:
Since it varies inversely, it should be
2.50%2Fx = 100000%2F10000
:
2.50%2Fx = 10
:
10x = 2.50
x = .25 for 100000
