The cost of a student ticket to the school play is $7. Write an equation that correctly relates the cost, c, for a particular number of student tickets, s, purchased. Identify the independent and dependent variables.

i dont understand what i am suppose to do

s students each pay $ 7

for example two would pay 14
so I claim
total cost c = number of students * $ 7
or
c = 7 s
the cost, c , depends on the number of students , s.

You are welcome.

Tysm!! :)

I can help you with that! In this question, you need to write an equation that relates the cost, c, to the number of student tickets, s, purchased.

To do this, you can think about the relationship between the cost and the number of tickets. The cost of a student ticket, $7, remains constant regardless of the number of tickets purchased. Therefore, the cost is the dependent variable (affected by the number of tickets).

The equation would be:
c = 7s

In this equation, c represents the cost (dependent variable) and s represents the number of student tickets (independent variable). To find the cost for a specific number of student tickets, you would substitute the value of s in the equation.
