Problema Solution
The cost, in millions of dollars, to remove x% of pollution from a smokestack is expressed as:
C=2300/(135-1.35x)
What is the cost to remove 70% of the pollutant? Be sure to express your answer with the proper units! Note: the “x” represents the whole number percent (as in 75 for 75%), not the decimal (if a percent is 65% for example, you would enter 65 NOT 0.65).

C=2300/(135-1.35x)
C= 2300/ (135-1.35(70))
C= 2300/ (135-94.5)
C= 2300 / 40.5
C= 56.79 million
