When renting a limo for prom, the number of people is inversely proportional to the cost per person. Originally there were 5 people and the cost per person was $44. If the number of people changed to 11, what would be the new cost per person?

Answer: The cost per person would be $15.20.

Step-by-step explanation: The price $40 per person when you have 5 people, is 8,8x the price per person. So, if you have 6 people more, you have 8,8x6 less in the price.

8,8 x 6 = 52,80.

44 x 5= 220,00. That was the cost for the limo for 5 people.

It means 220,00 - 52,80 = 167,20 (new price for 11 people)

167,20 ÷ 11 (new price per person) = 15,20.
