This is pretty straightforward calculating.

if x were 30 percent,
cost=100,000*30/70 Now what are you having difficulty with?
can the company ever remove 100% of the pollutants from the bayou, explain.
100,000*60/100-.60 is how I calculated this. then the 80 and then 100 I calculated the denominator as 100-1.0. I wasn't sure if the denominator was correct nor did I understand how to answer the last question.
