Answer 1

The correct identification of the dependent and independent variables is:

• Independent variable (i): the number of cake slices (this is what Troy decides to sell)
• Dependent variable (d): the amount of money he earns (this depends on the number of cake slices sold)

Therefore, the best response is: i = the number of cake slices, d = the amount of money he earns.
