Identify independent variable: Identify the independent variable.The capacity of the arena c is set by the venue and does not depend on the number of tickets sold. It is a fixed value determined by the size and safety regulations of the arena.
Identify dependent variable: Identify the dependent variable.The maximum number of tickets sold t depends on the capacity of the arena. The organizers cannot sell more tickets than the arena can hold according to fire safety regulations.
