The function f(x)=180x/(100-x) models the cost f(x) in millions of dollars to remove x% of a rivers pollutants.
\n" ); document.write( "If the government commits $540 million for this project
\n" ); document.write( "what is the percentage of pollutants that can be removed?
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "540 = (180x)/(100-x)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Cross multiply to get:
\n" ); document.write( "54000-540x = 180x
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "720x = 54000
\n" ); document.write( "x = 75
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "75% of the pollutants can be removed.
