Yes, so here’s where you should start. the question mark resembles a question being asked in the phrase “can someone help me with this problem?” you can also look at the word “can” this can be portraying a question being asked in the future.
An independent variable is what one controls and changes. A dependent variable is not controlled and is determined by the independent variable.
The independent variable is the hours doing landscaping work.
The dependent variable is the total earnings.
Hope this helps!!
Okay!
1. Take the $68 and subtract $5 from it for lunch
68
- 5
_____
63
2. Take your $63 and divide by 3.
(we are dividing by 3 because we know that she wants a haircut and a perm, but a perm costs twice(2) as much wich means we need to find how much one haircut is.)
3 divided by 3 = 21
3. Now you have a 21.
$21 = 1 haircut
21+21= $42 =1 perm (because the perm is twice the cost of the hair cut)
4. Add all together to make sure you have your numbers right!
$21(haircut)+$42(perm)+$5(lunch)= $68
Hope this helped!

If you are still confused just let me know!
First, it is to be noted that the variable being used in this item is p. We get the value of 1/3 of p by multiplying 1/3 to p giving us p/3. Then, the word less means to subtract from p/3 the given value. Therefore, the final expression for this item is,
p/3 - 2
