It costs $6 to rent bowling shoes at Fun Lanes Bowling. Each game of bowling costs $4. Salim wants to figure out how much it will cost him to bowl. He will need to rent shoes. For this problem, let g be the number of games bowled, and let t be the total cost. Is g the dependent variable or the independent variable? Explain how you know.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The cost depends on the number of games bowled. Therefore, g will be independent.

Um...are you getting it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well the question is not asking for me to solve, but it asks is g independent or dependent...

Depends. If he bowls to times that will be $14, because it cost $4 for each game with the additional charge of $6 to rent a pair of shoes.
