16 100 | w | + | 20 100 | ( | 1 | − | w | ) | = | 12 100 |
| Left side of the equation = | 16 100 | w | + | 20 100 | × | 1 | − | 20 100 | w |
| = | 16 100 | w | + | 1 5 | − | 20 100 | w |
| = | - | 1 25 | w | + | 1 5 |
| - | 1 25 | w | + | 1 5 | = | 12 100 |
| - | 1 25 | w | = | 12 100 | − | 1 5 |
| - | 1 25 | w | = | - | 2 25 |
2 25 | = | 1 25 | w |
1 25 | w | = | 2 25 |
| w | = | 2 25 | ÷ | 1 25 |
| = | 2 25 | × | 25 |
| = | 2 | × | 1 |
| w | = | 2 |
