Question

A drama club is planning a bus trip to New York City to see a Broadway play. The cost per person for the bus rental varies inversely as the number of people going on the trip. It will cost $30 per person if 44 people go on the trip. How much will it cost per person if 60 people go on the trip? Round your answer to the nearest cent, if necessary

Answer 1

cost is inversely proportional to the number of people going
if C is the cost and N is the number of people going, then

CN = constant

Does this help ?

Answer 6

The question says cost is inversely proportional to the number of people going
What do you understand by this statement ?

Answer 7

I dont know. This is the problem that confuses me the most. Can you just help me please

Answer 8

It means the product of number of people and the cost, is constant.
NC = constant
or
N1 C1 = N2 C2

N1 =44
C1=30
N2 =60
C2 = ?

substitute values and solve for C2
