A:
Answer with explanation:Given : Each package of hot dog buns contains 8 buns. Let p be the number of packages of hot dog buns and b be the total number of buns.∵ number of buns dependent on the number of packages of hot dogs required.Thus , the independent variable is p →the number of packages .and dependent variable is b → the number of buns.The equation that models the situation : [tex]b=8p[/tex]Required table :p b3 8(3)=244 8(4)=325 8(5)=406 8(6)=487 8(7)=568 8(8)=64
