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.

Tomas ran a Lucky Dip stall.
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

637

Step-by-step explanation:

Ticket ending 00= £12 * 7 = £84  

Tickets ending 5 = £1.5 * 75 = £112.5  

£84+£112.5=£196.5  

Price money + Profit: £196.5+£163= 356

356/£0.5 = 719 total tickets sold

719- 82 (WINNING TICKETS) = 637 losing tickets sold

Jessica had m beads. She used 18 of them to make a necklace for her mom. Then she used the rest to make k bracelets for her frie
Y_Kistochka [10]
The expression to represent this would be (m-18)/k.

We first subtract the 18 beads she used in her mother's bracelet from her beginning number, m.  We then divide our result by k, the number of bracelets she made for her friends.
