A farmer uses pesticides to keep harmful bugs away from his crops. The amount of pesticide used is an inverse variation of the percentage of bugs remaining on the crops. If he uses 5 gallons of pesticide per acre, 5% of the bugs remain. Which equation describes this relationship? (Let p denote the percentage of bugs and g denote the number of gallons used in the equations below.)

A. p=1/4g

B. p=4g

C. p=1/4g

D. p=4/g
