Answer:The new cost per person= $19 when there are 12 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Let Number of people be rep as N

And Cost per person = C

such that the relationship of  number of people which varies inversely with the cost per person is given as

N∝ 1/C

Introducing constant of proportionality, k, we have that

N= K/C

such that when there were 4 people the cost per person was $57, K would be

N= K/C

4 = K /57

k= 57 X 4

k=228

Step 2

Therefore If the number of people changed to 12, cost per person would be

N= K/C

12= 228 / C

C= 228/12

C= 19

The new cost per person= $19 when there are 12 people

in 1930 the average cost for a gallon of gasoline was $0.25. in 2007 the average cost for a gallon of gasoline is $2.60 what is
AlekseyPX
Hello! The first thing to do is to find the amount of change by subtracting both numbers. 2.60 - 0.25 is 2.35. Now, we set up a proportion by doing change/original = x/100. With the values plugged in, it would be written like this: 2.35/0.25 = x/100. Cross multiply the values in the proportion. When you do, you get 235 = 0.25x. Now, divide each side by 0.25 to isolate the "x". When you do that, x = 940. The price of gas has gone up 940% since 1930.

mariarad [96]

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can eliminate A and D since it is obviously only 36 months.

Note that the question asks what can be interpreted from the <em>range</em> of the graph.

The range is the number of users in thousands (per month) (as can be seen from the side title).

While B is technically correct, it wrongly interprets the range. C is the best choice.

The correct answer is C.
