Solve the problem.
-Suppose a cost-benefit model is given by $y = \frac { 2771 x } { 100 - x }$, where $y$ is the cost for removing $x$ percent of a given pollutant. What percent of pollutant can be removed for $\$ 36,000$ ? Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a percent.
A) $92.9 \%$
B) $108.3 \%$
C) $565.1 \%$
D) $9.3 \%$

To find the percent of pollutant that can be removed for $36,000, substitute $y = 36,000$ into the equation and solve for $x$:$$36,000 = \frac{2771x}{100 - x}$$Solving for $x$ gives approximately $92.9\%$.
