Answer:

Independent is the thing you change and the dependent is what changes because of the thing you change.

Example:

If you had 2 cookies available you'd only have 2 people while if you had 200 cookies than you would have way more people. So the independent would be amount of cookies and the dependent would be how many people show up.

Hope this helps!
