Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that we spend dollars for p identical pairs of pants.
Let assume that the price of a pair of pants is 5$
So we can form an equation:
c = 5p
A friend claims that because c increases if you increase p
It is true, in the above equation, p is the independent variable and c is dependent one. If we p increase in unit, c will follow up to increase 5$
p increases if you increase c
It is wrong, only p can affect on c and only p is dependent variable.
So to sum up, the statement : either corp could be the independent variable is wrong. Only one corp (p) is independent.
