Question

Identify the independent and dependent variables in situation. As Kyoko works more hours, her total pay increases. *

Answer 1

Independent: the hours
Dependent: total pay because it is what is being affected

Answer 2

Answer:

Kyoko's total pay is dependent and the number of hours she works is independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Kyoko's total pay is a dependent variable because her total pay depends on how much she works, for example if she works longer her pay increases or if she works less, she gets paid less. The number of hours Kyoko works is an independent variable because no outside variable except herself is deciding to work more, thus making it an independent variable.
