Answer: $25,500

Step-by-step explanation:

15/100 = 4500/x , we use this proportion to find out how much the entore book deal was.  When you multiply 4500 x 100 and divide by 15, it gives you an answer of 30,000.  30,000 is the value of the book deal.  The agent gets 15% but the entire deal would be worth 100%.  We subtract 15% from 100% to get 85%.  85% is what the author will receive.  85% of 30,000 is $25,500. We find the answer by multiplying 30,000 by 0.15. 0.15 is the decimal equivalent of 15.

Take an example: The salary per hour:

Assume x (variable) is the number of hours worked and assume THAT THE RATE PER HOUR IS $10, then:
If you work x hours at the hourly rate of$10, you will generate an income,
say, y that is equal the number of hours worked by the rate per hour, that is:

y = 10.x. The more hour(x) you work, the more income(y) you get.
Hence we created a relationship between y and x , or in English, between the earning and the number of hours worked.
Moreover y depends on x, if  there is no x, there is no y and if x increases, y increases. However x is an INDEPENDENT variable because you can
give to x any number & y will follow
