How do I go about solving this... The cost, in millions of dollars, to remove x% of pollution in a lake modeled by... C=6000/(200-2x). What is the cost to remove 73% of the pollutant? Round to the nearest millions of dollars.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

just replace x with 73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it would be, C=6000/(200-2(73))?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yep; and that simplifies down to whatever a calculator can give you :) if that dont work, try .75. but then the question should have been clearer if thats the case`

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you

OpenStudy (amistre64):

your welcome :)

So the answer I got was \[C=\frac{1000}{9}\]

OpenStudy (amistre64):

yep, thats what it works out to be; so either its 111 or 30 :)
