Independent : Hour
Dependent: Money.
Here the function would be as follows: C(x) = 35x + 40, where C(x) is the total cost and x is the number of hours worked as labour. Since C(x) depends on x, the number of hours worked as labour is the independent variable and the total cost is the dependent variable.
The wages of an employee depend on the time worked. Time is the independent variable that varies among employees, and the wages are calculated directly from the total time worked. Thus wages are dependent on time worked. [taken from Wikipedia2006I] In a call centre, the number of customers serviced per hour, depends on the number of agents, and average service time per customer. In this case number of customers is a dependent variable, entirely dependent on the other two independent variables namely agents, and average service time.
