if you let x equal the number of books, then y = 4x.
the independent variable is x which is the number of books sold.
the dependent variable is y which is the total amount of money raised for the trip.
the answer is in the statement ".....to raise money for a trip."
the price per book needs to be multiplied by the number of books to get the total amount of money raised for the trip.
x is just a variable used to represent the number of books.
once you know the value of x, you know the amount of money raised for the trip.

"You are selling books for $each to raise money for a trip."
If you get $ for every book you complete, the total amount of money () earned equals $ times the number of books ( sold.

so depends on
your answer is:
d. total amount of money raised
