In this scenario, the independent variable is the number of tables Vivian serves (t), as it is the factor that she can control or manipulate. The dependent variable is the amount of money Vivian earns (m), as it depends on the number of tables she serves. In other words, her earnings are affected by how many tables she has served.

m = the amount of money Vivian earns
