Explain why the relationship between the cost per person varies inversely with the number of persons sharing the cost. Then write an inverse variation function that can be used to calculate the cost per person, c, of p persons sharing the rental fee.

Answer:

1.  The relationship between the cost per person and the amount of persons sharing the cost is an inverse relationship because as the number of persons sharing the cost increases the cost per person decreases.

2. c = 1500 / p

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Lets look at the cost comparison per number of tenants.

1 person = $1500 per person

2 people = $750 per person

3 people = $500 per person

As you see, as the number of people increase, the cost per person decreases.

2. If you are splitting the cost, then you are dividing equally.

The rent is divided between the number of people

      1500    /                                    p

c = 1500 / p
