| 50000 | ÷ | ( | y | + | 200 | ) | = | 45000 | ÷ | y |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | y | + | 200 | ) | , | y |
| 50000 | y | = | 45000 | ( | y | + | 200 | ) |
| 50000 | y | = | 45000 | y | + | 45000 | × | 200 |
| 50000 | y | = | 45000 | y | + | 9000000 |
| 50000 | y | − | 45000 | y | = | 9000000 |
| 5000 | y | = | 9000000 |
| y | = | 9000000 | ÷ | 5000 |
| = | 9000000 | × | 1 5000 |
| = | 1800 | × | 1 |
| y | = | 1800 |
