| ( | 100 | − | x | ) | ÷ | x | ÷ | 1 | × | 100 100 | = | 3 100 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | x |
| ( | 100 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 1 | × | 100 100 | = | 3 100 | x |
| 100 | ÷ | 1 | × | 100 100 | − | x | ÷ | 1 | × | 100 100 | = | 3 100 | x |
| 100 | − | x | × | 1 | = | 3 100 | x |
| - | 1 | x | − | 3 100 | x | = | - | 100 |
| - | 103 100 | x | = | - | 100 |
| 100 | = | 103 100 | x |
103 100 | x | = | 100 |
| x | = | 100 | ÷ | 103 100 |
| = | 100 | × | 100 103 |
| x | = | 10000 103 |
| x | = | 97.087379 |
