| ( | 150 | + | 200 | z | + | 400 | z | ) | ÷ | 1500 | = | 14 100 |
| Left side of the equation = | 150 | × | 1 1500 | + | 200 | z | × | 1 1500 | + | 400 | z | × | 1 1500 |
| = | 1 10 | + | 2 15 | z | + | 4 15 | z |
| = | 1 10 | + | 2 5 | z |
1 10 | + | 2 5 | z | = | 14 100 |
2 5 | z | = | 14 100 | − | 1 10 |
2 5 | z | = | 1 25 |
| z | = | 1 25 | ÷ | 2 5 |
| = | 1 25 | × | 5 2 |
| = | 1 5 | × | 1 2 |
| z | = | 1 10 |
| z | = | 0.1 |
