The average weight of the passengers of an airline has increased from 150 pounds in 2000 to 170 pounds in 2010. If an airline used to transport 270 passengers in a plane in 2000, and the total passenger weight is fixed, approximately how many passengers can travel with the same plane in 2010?

There are 238 passengers in the plane in 2010

How to determine the number of passengers?

The given parameters are:

Weight = 150 pounds and Passenger = 270 --- Year 2000

Weight = 170 pounds --- Year 2010

Represent the parameters using the following inverse proportion

Weight * Passenger= Fixed

So, we have:

150 * 270 = 170 * Passenger

Divide both sides by 170

150 * 270/170 = Passenger

Evaluate

238 = Passenger

Rewrite as

Passenger = 238

Hence, there are 238 passengers in the plane in 2010
