Question

The number of cars (C) in a aprking lot increases when the parking fee (f) decreases. Wrrite an equation for this scenerio, and solve for the number of cars when the fee is $6

Answer 1

The correct equation for the scenario is C=k / f

Number of cars when fee=$6 is

C=k/6

Explanation:

Let

C= number of cars

f=fee

Number of cars increases as fee decreases

This is an inverse variation

Therefore,

C= k / f

When,

f=$6

C= k / f

C=k/6

The correct equation for the scenario is C=k / f

Number of cars when fee=$6 is

C=k/6
