Whenever you need to find the percentage OF a number (often money), you just convert that percentage to a decimal (just move the decimal to the left twice so 40% becomes 0.40, 10.5% becomes 0.105, 2% becomes 0.02, etc) and MULTIPLY that decimal by the amount/number you need to find the percentage of.

For example, find the 20% commission of a $10,000 car sale
Calculation:
0.20x$10000 = $2000
Answer:
the commission would be $2000

That’s how you do it. I hope that helps. You should be able to solve it on your own now.

100% = 1.0
2.5% = 0.025

So now we know the decimal that corresponds to 2.5%, so all we have to do is multiply the price of the boat by this value in order to find the commission earned:

18 500 x 0.025 = $462.50

What is the domain and range
Rainbow [258]

Well, keep in mind that the domain of a function is the entire set of possible values of the independent variable. To make it more clear, the domain is the set of all possible x-values, which will make the function work, and with real y-values as the output. So, the range would be the set of all of the second elements of an ordered pair (y-coordinates).

If you made a T chart like the picture you have above, you would have to put x (age of person) and y (books read).

So,

x = age of person

y = books read
