The inverse variation of the STEM club implies that as the number of students increases, the amount reduces
The number of students is 35
An inverse variation is represented as:
[tex]k = xy[/tex]
Where:
k represents the proportionality constant.
x represents the number of students, and y represents the amount
So, we have:
[tex]x_1 * y_1 = x_2 * y_2[/tex]
This gives
[tex]25 * 17 = x_2 * 12[/tex]
Evaluate the product
[tex]425 = x_2 * 12[/tex]
Divide both sides by 12
[tex]x_2 = 35[/tex]
Hence, the number of students is 35
