At the salad bar, the grocery store charges $5.99 for each half pound you buy. Which variable is dependent?

Thank you! <3

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

cost = function of the number of half pounds you buy

Let n = number of half pounds you buy.

Let c = cost.

The cost function is

c = 5.99n

n is the independent variable. The number of half pounds you buy is any number you choose. Once you have a fixed number for n, then c depends on that number.

c is the dependent variable.

goog may have it for you

first anwser choice.

step-by-step explanation:

the greater/less or equal to symbol (> or < with the line at the bottom) is a closed/filled in circle.

-5c + 2 _< _27

subtract from both sides by 2

-5c _< _ 27

divide both sides by -5

c _< _ 5.4

flip the inequality sign

c _> _5.4

the only possible answer that would match the simplified inequality is the first answer choice
