| 100 | ( | 324 | − | 20 100 | x | ) | = | 56 | × | 80 100 | x |
| Left side of the equation = | 100 | × | 324 | − | 100 | × | 20 100 | x |
| = | 32400 | − | 20 | x |
| 32400 | − | 20 | x | = | 56 | × | 80 100 | x |
| Right side of the equation = | 224 5 | x |
| 32400 | − | 20 | x | = | 224 5 | x |
| - | 20 | x | − | 224 5 | x | = | - | 32400 |
| - | 324 5 | x | = | - | 32400 |
| 32400 | = | 324 5 | x |
324 5 | x | = | 32400 |
| x | = | 32400 | ÷ | 324 5 |
| = | 32400 | × | 5 324 |
| = | 100 | × | 5 |
| x | = | 500 |
