| 100 | ( | 1 | − | 5 100 | ) | + | 100 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) | = | 200 | ( | 1 | + | 15 100 | ) |
| Left side of the equation = | 100 | × | 1 | − | 100 | × | 5 100 | + | 100 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) |
| = | 100 | − | 5 | + | 100 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) |
| = | 95 | + | 100 | ( | 1 | + | x | ) |
| = | 95 | + | 100 | × | 1 | + | 100 | x |
| = | 95 | + | 100 | + | 100 | x |
| = | 195 | + | 100 | x |
| 195 | + | 100 | x | = | 200 | ( | 1 | + | 15 100 | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 200 | × | 1 | + | 200 | × | 15 100 |
| = | 200 | + | 30 |
| = | 230 |
| 195 | + | 100 | x | = | 230 |
| 100 | x | = | 230 | − | 195 |
| 100 | x | = | 35 |
| x | = | 35 | ÷ | 100 |
| = | 35 | × | 1 100 |
| = | 7 | × | 1 20 |
