Question

The cost to rent a boat can be modeled by the equation C = 18h + 35 where C is the total cost in dollars and h is the number of hours in which the boat is rented.

What is the dependent variable?

A. h

B. C

C. 18

D. 35

Answer 1

It’s B I looked it up

Answer 2

the answer is B, C is the total of cost (the dependent variable) because it depends on the independent variable, which is h. the dependent variable always is dependent on the independent value, like, you need the total of hours that you are renting the boat to know how much you need to pay, it can't be the other way around.
