The total cost in dollars , c(p), of buying jersey peaches at a farm stand is modeled by c(p) =2.75p, where p stands for the number of pounds of peaches that are bought. indentify the independent and dependent variables for this function.

C(p): Dependent Variable

p: Independent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

,

where c(p) is the total cost in dollars of buying Jersey peaches at a farm stand and p stands for the number of pounds of peaches that are bought.

We have to identify the dependent and the independent variables of this function.

Since the total cost depends upon the the number of pounds of peaches bought, then, p which is the number of pounds of peaches bought is the independent variable and the the total cost , C is the dependent variable.

C(p): Dependent Variable

p: Independent variable.
