| ( | 100 | − | x | ) | ÷ | 3 10 | − | 1 | = | 24 |
| Left side of the equation = | 100 | × | 10 3 | − | x | × | 10 3 | − | 1 |
| = | 1000 3 | − | x | × | 10 3 | − | 1 |
| = | 997 3 | − | 10 3 | x |
997 3 | − | 10 3 | x | = | 24 |
| - | 10 3 | x | = | 24 | − | 997 3 |
| - | 10 3 | x | = | - | 925 3 |
925 3 | = | 10 3 | x |
10 3 | x | = | 925 3 |
| x | = | 925 3 | ÷ | 10 3 |
| = | 925 3 | × | 3 10 |
| = | 185 | × | 1 2 |
| x | = | 185 2 |
| x | = | 92.5 |
