Aneighborhood swim club charges a one-time fee of $25 to join and $85 each month. if n is the number of months of membership and t is the total amount spent, then the variables are related by the equation t = 85n - 25. which variable is the independent variable?
a. n
b. there is no relationship between the variables.
c. t

n is the independent variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

A neighborhood swim club charges a one-time fee of $25 to join

His monthly charges = $85

If n is the number of months of membership and t is the total amount spent, then the variables are related by the equation

In the given equation t is the dependent variable.Since it depends on n.

Total cost will depend on the number of the months for which you have joined the club

n is the independent variable .Since it it does not depend on any other variable like t

Because t total cost depends on n .

Hence Option A is correct : n is the independent variable.
