Question 754283: The cost per person of renting a charter bus varies inversely with the number of people riding the bus. When 25 people agree to ride the bus, the cost per person is $22. How much would each person have to pay if the number of riders increases to 40 people? Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Cost per person varies inversely with the number of travellers
C = k/N
(k is the constant of proportionality)
To find k put the known values into the formula
C = k/N
$22 = k/25
so k = 22*25
k = 550
Therefore your formula is:-
C = 550/N
To solve problem:
C = 550/N
C = 550/40
C = $13.75
Hope this helps
:-)
