You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Given:
\n" ); document.write( "\"f%28x%29+=+180x%2F100\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"f%28x%29+=+60\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute what you are given.
\n" ); document.write( "\"60+=+180x%2F100\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply both sides by 100.
\n" ); document.write( "\"6000+=+180x\"
\n" ); document.write( "Equals are equal, so you can swap sides.
\n" ); document.write( "\"180x+=+6000\"
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 180.
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+6000%2F180\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+33.333333\"
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "So, the $60 million would result in the removal of 33.33333% of the pollutants.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Done.\r
