The amount of currency Wendy gets depends on the amount of hours she works.
Thus, the dollars is the dependent variable and the total hours is the independent variable.
Since the domain is the restrictions on the x axis, which is the independent variable, we are asked to find the domain for the total hours worked. They gave it to us in the problem: between 30 and 35. (In between the dotted lines on the graph below).
The one can calculate the range by finding the lowest value and highest value of the total dollars made. (plug in the first number and the last number of the domain)
