Solution

Q1

Step 1

Let the weakly revenue = m

Let the weekly income = c

Step 2

Weekly income = Weekly salary + 4% of weekly revenue

Step 3


c\text{ = 800 + 0.04m}

Q2

c = 800 + 0.04m

It is a function because as the independent variable 'm' changes, the dependent variable 'c' also changes and is unique.

Q3:


\begin{gathered} The\:domain\:of\:a\:function\:is\:the\:set\:of\:input\:or\:argument\:values\: \\ for\:which\:the\:function\:is\:real\:and\:defined. \end{gathered}
Domain\text{ = \lbrack 0 , }\infty)
