Given the following scenario. What would be the independent variable?
A cell phone company charges $20 a month for the base plan. They charge 10 cents for
every text, minute, or kilobyte of data use. Write and equation to express your cell
phone bill.
O 0.10
O $20 a month
O total phone bill
O texts
As you send more texts, the total phone bill goes up. We can see that the texts are the independent variable, and that the total bill relies (aka depends) on the number of texts sent.
