| 50 | ÷ | n | × | ( | 101 | − | n | ) | = | 80 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | n |
| 50 | ( | 101 | − | n | ) | = | 80 | n |
| 50 | × | 101 | − | 50 | n | = | 80 | n |
| 5050 | − | 50 | n | = | 80 | n |
| - | 50 | n | − | 80 | n | = | - | 5050 |
| - | 130 | n | = | - | 5050 |
| 5050 | = | 130 | n |
| 130 | n | = | 5050 |
| n | = | 5050 | ÷ | 130 |
| = | 5050 | × | 1 130 |
| = | 505 | × | 1 13 |
| n | = | 505 13 |
| n | = | 38.846154 |
