Question 1123503: You are making balloon bunches to attach to tables for a party.
You are using 8 balloons in each bunch, write a rule for the function for the total number of balloons used as a function of the numbers of the bunches created.
Identify the independent and the dependent variables. How many ballons will you use if you make ten bunches/

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let y = the number of balloons
let x = the number of bunches.

formula is y = 8x

the independent variable is x which is the number of bunches.

the dependent variable is y which is the number of balloons.

when x = 10, y = 8 * 10 = 80.

10 bunches required 8 * 10 = 80 balloons.
