D. total number of tickets sold by the time of the raffle; number of tickets sold each day

Answer 1

In the context of the Cub Scouts raffle tickets, the total number of tickets sold so far is a stock variable, and the number of tickets sold each day is a flow variable. Option D correctly identifies these variables.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Cub Scouts have so far sold 100 tickets for their upcoming raffle, but they sell an additional 12 tickets every day. The total number of tickets sold so far is a stock variable, and the number of tickets sold each day is a flow variable. Option D is the correct answer: the total number of tickets sold by the time of the raffle is a stock variable since it represents the accumulation at a specific point in time, and the number of tickets sold each day is a flow variable because it describes a rate of change over time.
