In the situation described, the independent and dependent quantities are as follows:

  • Independent quantity: time using the table
  • Dependent quantity: cost

This is because the cost of playing pool increases based on how much time you use the table. Therefore, the amount of time you choose to use the table (independent) affects the total cost (dependent).
