You can put this solution on YOUR website!
C=6000/(200-2X) I'LL ASSUME THIS IS THE EQUATION.
\n" ); document.write( "C=6000/(200-2*75)
\n" ); document.write( "C=6000/(200-150)
\n" ); document.write( "C=6000/50
\n" ); document.write( "C=120 COST TO REMOVE 75%.
\n" ); document.write( "C=6000/(200-2*90)
\n" ); document.write( "C=6000/(200-180)
\n" ); document.write( "C=6000/20
\n" ); document.write( "C=300 COST TO REMOVE 90%.
\n" ); document.write( "C=6000/(200-2*99)
\n" ); document.write( "C=6000/(200-198)
\n" ); document.write( "C=6000/2
\n" ); document.write( "C=3000 COST TO REMOVE 99%.
\n" ); document.write( "THE EQUATION IS UNDEFINED WHEN YOU USE 100%.
\n" ); document.write( "C=6000/(200-200)
\n" ); document.write( "C=6000/0 C BECOMES UNDEFINED WHEN YOU IVIDE BY 0.\r
