Question

jon buys packages of pens for $5 each. identify the independent and dependent variables in the situation

Answer 1

The independent variables is the number of packages and the dependent variable is the price of the pens

Answer 2

The independent variable is the variable that is changed and manipulated, and the dependent variable is the outcome of this change. So the independent variable is the number of packs that Jon buys, and the dependent variable is the overall cost. Additionally, the constant variable is the cost of the pens ($5) because that stays the same.
