The company picnic cost $ 1300 for 80 employees
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Given that cost of a company picnic varies directly as the number of employees attending the picnic
Let "c" be the company picnic cost
Let "n" be the number of employees attending the picnic
Therefore,
Where "k" is the constant of proportionality
c = kn ---------- eqn 1
<em><u>Given that company picnic costs $487.50 for 30 employees</u></em>
Therefore substitute c = 487.50 and n = 30
<em><u>How much does a company picnic cost for 80 employees?</u></em>
Substitute n = 80 and k = 16.25 in eqn 1
Thus $ 1300 is the cost for 80 employees
The total space in the parking lot is 1600 cars
It is mentioned that parts of this parking is filled
Now we are required to find what is the three-fourths part of 1600
To find it we multiply times 1600
=
=
= 1200 cars
Hence 1200 cars fills the three-fourths of the car parking lot that has a capacity of 1600 cars
