Question 467293
The price per person of renting a bus varies inversely with the number of people renting the bus.  It costs $20.00 per person if 56 people rent the bus.
  How much will it cost per person if 58 people rent the bus?
:
A real idiot jerk on the forum today!
:
Let x = cost per person if 58 people rent the bus
:
Find the original total cost of the bus. 20 * 56 = $1120
x = {{{1120/58}}} = $19.31 per person
:
:
You can also use an inverse ratio equation
{{{56/58}}} = {{{x/20}}}
58x = 1120
cross multiply
x = {{{1120/58}}}
x = 19.31
