Question

Every year a band is paid a total of $350 to play at the county fair. If a represents the amount of money each band member receives and n represents the number of members in the band, which function best represents the inverse variation relationship between a and n?

Answer 1

a represents the amount of money each band member receives
n represents the number of members in the band
therefore,

a = 350/n

the bigger the n (more band members), the lesser the a (amount each member gets)
