You are making ballon bunches to attach to tables for a charity event. You plan on using 8 ballons in each bunch. Write a rule for the total number of balloons used as a function of the number of bunches created. Identify the independent and dependent variables. How many ballons will you use if you make 10 balloons?

Much ado about nothing to say

number of balloons = 8(bunches)

(the number of balloons is a function of the number of bunches, so ? depends on ?

your last sentence makes no sense.

To calculate the total number of balloons used as a function of the number of bunches created, we can use the formula: total balloons = number of bunches * number of balloons per bunch.

Let's denote the total number of balloons as "B," the number of bunches as "N," and the number of balloons per bunch as "Bp."

Therefore, the formula becomes: B = N * Bp.

In this case, the number of bunches created (N) is the independent variable because we can choose any value for it. The total number of balloons used (B) is the dependent variable because it depends on the number of bunches created.

Given that you make 10 bunches, the number of bunches (N) would be 10. Let's assume you still plan to use 8 balloons per bunch (Bp = 8).

Now we can substitute the values into the formula:
B = N * Bp
B = 10 * 8
B = 80

Therefore, if you make 10 bunches, you will use a total of 80 balloons.
