Problem #1 A small laser-tag company is planning on discounting some of their group rates for the week. instead of $90 for a group of 3-6 people for 15 minutes, their discounting the rate to only $60. If any partty that's meets the requirements needed for this, and every person in the party chips in an equal amount of money, how much would each person need to chip in for each situation? Problem #2: An employer for a store is coming up to the pay day for his employees. Right now, he has 4 front-end stokers, who each have the exact same salary of $11.50 dollars an hour, and for the past two weeks, they each worked 51 hours, with no overtime. How much money will he have to pay each of the stokers this week? How much money all together?
Which is an Inverse Variation and which is a Direct Variation? How do you know?

considering that you "corrected" the post, it is still riddled with grammar/spelling/typing errors. Oh, well.
#1. Just divide 60 by 3,4,5 or 6 to find the individual contributions for a person of those group sizes.
#2 each stoker's pay is just $11.50*51
the total pay is 4 times that.
If y varies directly with x, it means that for some constant k,
y = kx. That is the ratio y/x = k remains constant.
If y varies inversely, then y = k/x. That is, the product xy=k remains constant.

The second one is direct right?
yes
