Answer:

c(x) = ($12) / x

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for inverse proportion is y = k/x.

In this specific problem, y represents the cost per person, k the dailyl cost ($12), and x the number of perople riding.

Then

c(x) = cost per person as a function of the number of people riding

      = ($12) / x

Note that if only one person rides, that person pays $12/1, or $12; if two people, $12/2, or $6 per person, and so on.
