You can put this solution on YOUR website!
x = number of premium movie channels rented per month
B = total monthly bill
B+=+35.20+%2B+11.91%2A+x
percent of bill paid for movie channels =
p+=+%28%2811.91%2Ax%29+%2F+%2835.20+%2B+11.91+%2A+x%29%29+%2A+100
solve for p if x = 2
p+=+%28%2811.91%2A2%29+%2F+%2835.20+%2B+11.91+%2A+2%29%29+%2A+100
p+=+23.82+%2F+59.02+%2A+100
p+=+.4036+%2A+100
p = 40.36%
