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.$22.00 $40.91$1,320.00 \$21.29 one year ago one year ago

Again, you start with the equation$y=\frac{k}{x}$since it's inversely proportional. What should we now put in for x and y?

2. mamma17 Group Title

y=30? and x=60?

3. KingGeorge Group Title

We're assuming x is the number of people, and y is the cost per person. We know that when 44 people go, it costs 30 dollars per person. So we use y=30 and x=44.

oh ok

5. mamma17 Group Title

so it would be 1,320.00

That's your $$k$$, but not the price per person. Now you need to go back to $y=\frac{k}{x}$ except now you know k, and you're told to find y when x=60.
