An office worker uses the function $N(t) = 110 + 25t$ to track their unread email count, where $N$ represents the total number of unread emails and $t$ represents the number of days elapsed. In this mathematical model, which variable is the independent variable?

An office manager uses the function $N(t) = 110 + 25t$ to track how a baseline of 110 unread emails increases by 25 emails each day ($t$). In this relationship, the total number of unread emails ($N$) is the ________ variable.

In the function $N(t) = 110 + 25t$, which an administrative assistant uses to track how a baseline of 110 unread emails increases by 25 emails per day ($t$), the variable $t$ is the independent variable.

A facility manager uses the linear function $N(t) = 110 + 25t$ to track the accumulation of unread maintenance requests in their system over $t$ days. Match each mathematical component of this function to its correct role or classification in this scenario.
