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 to 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 55 people go on the trip? Round your answer to the nearest cent, if necessary.

$48.00
$24.00
$12.50
$33.00
To solve this problem, we can use the inverse variation formula:
k = number of people * cost per person
First, we can set up the equation using the information given:
44 * $30 = 55 * x
1320 = 55x
x = $24
Therefore, if 55 people go on the trip, it will cost $24 per person. So the answer is:
$24.00
