Answer 2

So... we can let n = number of people, and c = how much per person, given n....
They vary inversely, so
nc = k
and k is constant.
(30)(44) = k
What's k?

Answer 3

1320=k???

Answer 4

That's right. Now, if we change 44 to 60 (since 60 people go on the trip) and we want to find the cost per person (c), we get
60c = 1320
Now find c.
And that will be your answer.

Answer 5
