# Math Help - amount

1. ## amount

The amount of money each member of a band earns playing at a
graduation party varies inversely as the number of members in the band.
If the band has five members, each member earns $70. Write an equation that models the relationship between the number of members in a band, n, and the amount each member earns, d. Use the equation to calculate the amount each member earns if there are four members in the band. 2.

Use the equation to calculate the amount each member earns if there
are four members in the band.
$d = \frac{k}{n}$ , where $k$ is the constant of proportionality

sub in the given values and solve for $k$ , then determine $d$ if $n = 4$
