If scores on an exam follow an approximately normal distribution with a mean of 76.4 and a standard deviation of 6.1 points, then the minimum score you would need to be in the top 2% is equal to 88.929.
A problem of this type in mathematics can be characterized as a normal distribution problem. We can use the z-score to solve it by using the formula;
Z = x - μ / σ
In this formula the standard score is represented by Z, the observed value is represented by x, the mean is represented by μ, and the standard deviation is represented by σ.
The p-value can be used to determine the z-score with the help of a standard table.
As we have to find the minimum score to be in the top 2%, p-value = 0.02
The z-score that is found to correspond with this p-value of 0.02 in the standard table is 2.054
Therefore,
2.054 = x - 76.4 ÷ 6.1
2.054 × 6.1 = x - 76.4
12.529 = x - 76.4
12.529 + 76.4 = x
x = 88.929
Hence 88.929 is calculated to be the lowest score required to be in the top 2%.

You can easily test this if you know that (6, -10) corresponds to (X, Y). Knowing this, you can:
X = 6
Y = -10
you put this into your equation:
-10 = 3*6 - 8
calculate it:
-10 = 18 - 8
-10 = 10
This is not true of course, -10 is not equal to 10. Therefore, (6, -10) is not a solution of y = 3x-8 :)
Answer:
1. We can see that salesperson's weekly income is the sum of her constant weekly salary ($760) and a commission which is variable and depends on her weekly sales.
So, if we say that y is her weekly income and x is her weekly sales, we can write this as:
y = 760 + 0.075x
Note that we had to change percentage to decimal number dividing it by 100.
2 Since for each value of x there is only one corresponding value of y, we can say that this is a function. For any value of x we input there is only one solution we get - that is the main feature of function and a way to tell if something is really a function.
Since this is a function, it can also be written as:
f(x) = 760 + 0.075x
3. Domain of a function is, basically, set of all values of x for which the function can work. That practically means that, since x is weekly sale, it can not be negative (one cannot make -$500 sale, for example). However, it is possible that she doesn't make a sale one week, making it possible for x to be 0. Also, the value of her sales doesn't have to be integer (it is quite possible that she makes $673.50 sale).
All this means that appropriate domain for this function are positive real numbers including 0.
