STEP 1: Recall what is a variable

STEP 2: Recall what is an independent variable and a dependent variable

STEP 3: Write which variable is independent and which variable is dependent

Since the number of hockey sticks they can buy depends on the number of cars they wash

s is the dependent variable and c is the independent variable.
