| ( | 121 10 | + | 1 5 | y | ) | ÷ | ( | 977 10 | + | y | ) | = | 4 25 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 977 10 | + | y | ) |
| ( | 121 10 | + | 1 5 | y | ) | = | 4 25 | ( | 977 10 | + | y | ) |
121 10 | + | 1 5 | y | = | 4 25 | ( | 977 10 | + | y | ) |
121 10 | + | 1 5 | y | = | 4 25 | × | 977 10 | + | 4 25 | y |
121 10 | + | 1 5 | y | = | 1954 125 | + | 4 25 | y |
1 5 | y | − | 4 25 | y | = | 1954 125 | − | 121 10 |
1 25 | y | = | 1954 125 | − | 121 10 |
1 25 | y | = | 883 250 |
| y | = | 883 250 | ÷ | 1 25 |
| = | 883 250 | × | 25 |
| = | 883 10 | × | 1 |
| y | = | 883 10 |
| y | = | 88.3 |
