A variable is any factor, trait, or condition that can exist in differing amounts or types. An experiment usually has three kinds of variables: independent, dependent, and controlled. The independent variable is the one that is changed by the scientist.

Answer 22

Isabella, obviously the more cans this guy recycles, the more money he earns.
So, his income depends upon the can count. Supposing that cans are worth 5 cents each, or $0.05/can, then Income = Rate (quantity), or
Inc(x) = ($0.05/can) (# of cans, x),
or Inc(x) = $0.05*x

So, which variable seems to be dependent upon the other, Inc(x) or x?

Answer 23

the dependent variable is x
