Answer: the dependent variable is the cost of a dozen of eggs.

Explanation:

The cost is function of the size of the eggs, Cost = f (size).

That means that you introduce the size (this is the input) in the function an you obtain the cost (this is the output)

The input is the independent variable and the output is the dependent variable.
