Answer 1

Answer:

Option B. The cost of the apples is a function of their weight

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

y -----> the cost of the apples in dollars

x----> the weight of the apples in pounds

y=f(x)

The independent variable (x) is the weight of the apples

The dependent variable is the cost of the apples

therefore

The cost of the apples is a function of their weight
