The problem is "x people are equally splitting the cost of a $C gift. If p people will no longer contribute to the gift, by how much will each person's contribution increase?"
All I know so far is that inverse variation is y=k times 1/x, in which yx=k.
I have tried to make y the cost that each x person must chip in equally to satisfy the cost of C. (first scenario)
--> xy=C
But I'm stuck as to how to find the increase each person must chip in when p people will no longer contribute.
