Great. Now answer my question.

Answer 4

i dont know thats all it had down to choose from

Answer 5

You don't need things to choose from. Answer the question. Which does Juan control? Can he change his wages at will? Can he show up at work or not? Which one does he control? That's the independent variable,

Answer 6

no he gets 11$ per hour and works at the most of 30 hrs per week

Answer 7

You still didn't answer the question. Which one can he control?

Answer 8

i have no idea

Answer 9

thats all i have and i dont get the question

Answer 10

Do you have a job? Do you know anyone who does?

Answer 11

no nd yea?

Answer 12

Can this person who has a job walk in each day and demand higher wages?

Answer 13

uh nooo..??

Answer 14

Good. So wages is NOT an independent variable.

Can this person fail to show up? Leave early? or stay a little later?

Answer 15

well it says works at most so does that mean he can only work that much or he only wants to?

Answer 16

Perfect. We have established that Juan has a little control over his hours. This is the Independent Variable. Simple as that.

Answer 17

haha okay

Answer 18

Can you now find the answer?

Answer 19

ha yes thanks

Answer 20

Good work!

I really like the silly answers, like the first one:

hours worked; amount of money earned; $0 to $330; 0 to 30

The Domain for "hours worked" is "$0 to $330"???? Hours aren't measured in Dollars!!! Silly answer!
