To solve this problem, we can use the inverse variation formula:
y = k/x
Where:
y = cost per person
x = number of people
k = constant of variation
We can use the initial values to find the value of k:
20 = k/11
k = 220
Now we can use k to find the new cost per person when the number of people changes to 4:
y = 220/4
y = 55
Therefore, the new cost per person would be $55.
