Suppose a cost benefit model is given by the equation above, where Y is the cost in thousands of dollars of moving X% of pollutants. What % of pollutant can be removed for $40,000?

This is the part that I think is tricky. She worked out her problems the same way in school and got those answers right.
If that's the case.

Then you replace Y with 40k and then divide both ends of the equation by 2938.

Why that 100-x there is what I don't get.
