Question

A local farmer decides to sell his produce at the farmer's market. Every Sunday he uses his own fuel to drive
to the market which is 300km away. This costs him R650.00 per week. He sells 50 boxes of fruit for R250.00
and 100 boxes of fruit for R350.00.

What is the dependent variable in this scenario?

Answer 1

Answer:

The money

Step-by-step explanation:

The drive to the farmers market is a certain distance away, which costs him a specific amount of money. If the distance were to change, then so would the price it took to get there per week. Additionally, as the amount of boxes increases, so does the price.

A dependent variable is a variable that directly changes as the independent variable(s) change. In this scenario, the money, or cost is what's changing based on other factors.

hope this helps :)
