| ( | 2400 | + | k | ) | ÷ | 90 | = | ( | 1800 | + | k | ) | ÷ | 70 |
| Left side of the equation = | 2400 | × | 1 90 | + | k | × | 1 90 |
| = | 80 3 | + | k | × | 1 90 |
80 3 | + | 1 90 | k | = | ( | 1800 | + | k | ) | ÷ | 70 |
| Right side of the equation = | 1800 | × | 1 70 | + | k | × | 1 70 |
| = | 180 7 | + | k | × | 1 70 |
80 3 | + | 1 90 | k | = | 180 7 | + | 1 70 | k |
1 90 | k | − | 1 70 | k | = | 180 7 | − | 80 3 |
| - | 1 315 | k | = | 180 7 | − | 80 3 |
| - | 1 315 | k | = | - | 20 21 |
20 21 | = | 1 315 | k |
1 315 | k | = | 20 21 |
| k | = | 20 21 | ÷ | 1 315 |
| = | 20 21 | × | 315 |
| = | 20 | × | 15 |
| k | = | 300 |
