Renting a movie costs $ 5.99. What is the dependent variable in this situation?

A. number of movies

B. price

C. multiplication

D. there are no independent variables

The dependent variable is the price because it depends on how many movies are rented. The independent variable would be the number of movies.

B. price

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is linear and looks like this:

C (x) = 5.99x

where C (x) is the cost of x number of movies. The cost is the dependent variable, since it is dependent upon how many movies you rent at 5.99 each.
