Identify the Independent (x) and dependent (y) variables. Represent your answer as - IV(x)- Tickets/Money DV(y)- Tickets/Money *

Answer 1

The middle school will host a Talent show.

The goal of the tickets sale is to earn $500

To reach this goal Ms G has to sell a determined number of tickets.

This means that the earnings depend directly on the number of tickets sold.

So the independent/ explanatory variable is the number of tickets sold, and the dependent/ response variable is the money earned

x → Tickets sold

y → Money earned
