independent variable?
Price $2.40 $3.00 $3.60 $4.20
Sales Tax $0.12 $0.15 $0.18 $0.21
A.
The price, because the price values
are greater than the tax values
B.
The sales tax, because it is never part
of the price
The price, because the price
determines the sales tax
D.
The sales tax, because it varies
according to the price​

Answer 1

The price is the independent variable, because only the store-keeper can change it, and the amount of sales tax depends on it.
