You spend c dollars for
p identical pairs of pants. a friend claims that
because c increases if you increase p, and p
increases if you increase c, either corp could be
the independent variable. is your friend right or
wrong? explain.

Your friend is wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

C is dependent upon the number of pairs of jeans purchased, making P independent.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that we spend dollars for  p identical pairs of pants.

Let assume that the price of a pair of pants is 5$

So we can form an equation:

c = 5p

A friend claims that  because c increases if you increase p

It is true, in the above equation, p is the independent variable and c is dependent one. If we p increase in unit, c will follow up to increase 5$

p  increases if you increase c

It is wrong, only p can affect on c and only p is dependent variable.

So to sum up, the statement : either corp could be  the independent variable is wrong. Only one corp (p) is independent.
