| 400 | Y | ( | 1 | − | 1 25 | ) | + | 80 | Y | ( | 1 | − | 3 50 | ) | − | 4400 | = | 3552 |
| Left side of the equation = | 400 | Y | × | 1 | − | 400 | Y | × | 1 25 | + | 80 | Y | ( | 1 | − | 3 50 | ) | − | 4400 |
| = | 400 | Y | − | 16 | Y | + | 80 | Y | ( | 1 | − | 3 50 | ) | − | 4400 |
| = | 384 | Y | + | 80 | Y | ( | 1 | − | 3 50 | ) | − | 4400 |
| = | 384 | Y | + | 80 | Y | × | 1 | − | 80 | Y | × | 3 50 | − | 4400 |
| = | 384 | Y | + | 80 | Y | − | 24 5 | Y | − | 4400 |
| = | 2296 5 | Y | − | 4400 |
2296 5 | Y | − | 4400 | = | 3552 |
2296 5 | Y | = | 3552 | + | 4400 |
2296 5 | Y | = | 7952 |
| Y | = | 7952 | ÷ | 2296 5 |
| = | 7952 | × | 5 2296 |
| = | 142 | × | 5 41 |
| Y | = | 710 41 |
| Y | = | 17.317073 |
