To write an equation that relates the total cost, c, for a particular number, s, of student tickets purchased, we can use the formula:
c = 7s
In this equation:
- The variable s represents the number of student tickets purchased. It is the independent variable because it is the value that can vary or be chosen freely.
- The variable c represents the total cost for the given number of student tickets. It is the dependent variable as its value depends on the number of student tickets purchased.
