A. All real numbers
B. All whole numbers
C. All positive numbers
D. All whole numbers that are multiples of 3

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of packages of paper towels.

Each package of paper towels costs $2.79.

Then x packages of paper towels cost $2.79x.

Hence, a function f(x) is

$f(x)=2.79x$

Practically, you can buy 0 packages, 1 package, 2 packages and so on, only whole numbers of packages, so practical domain is all whole numbers.
