Write three (3) scenarios that describe three different real-world functions. Each scenario should use two of the variables from the list above, combined with the phrase depends on.

For each scenario, identify the independent and dependent variables in the function, and assign the letters x and y to represent each variable quantity. Then create a set of at least five ordered pairs in (x, y) form with values that make sense for the function.

Here is one Jake’s salary depends on the number of hours he works.

The independent variable is the number of hours and the dependent variable is salary.

Let x = the number of hours worked

Let y = Jake's salary

The set of ordered pairs { (1, 10), (2, 20), (3, 30), (4, 40), (5, 50) } can be used to represent

the function, assuming Jake earns $10 per hour.
