    You are buying boxes of cookies at a bakery. Each box of cookies costs $4. In the equation below, c represents the number of boxes of cookies you buy, and d represents the amount the cookies will cost you (in dollars). The relationship between these two variables can be expressed by the following equation: d=4c. Identify the dependent and independent variables.

    The variable d is dependent, and c is independent since the value of d is determined by c.
