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
