SOLUTION: The function p(d)=1+d/33, gives the pressure, in atmospheres (atm), at a depth d in the sea (d is in feet). Note that p(0)=1 atm, p(33)=2, and so on. Find the pressure at 110 ft.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
it looks like all you have to do is set d = 110
then p(110) = 1 + (110/33)
this becomes 1 + 3 and one third = 4 and 1 third = 4.333333333..... = 4.33 atm rounded to the nearest hundredth.
