| 15 | = | 100 | ( | a | − | 203 | ) | ÷ | ( | a | × | 160 | ÷ | 100 | ) |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | a | × | 160 | ÷ | 100 | ) |
| 15 | ( | a | × | 160 | ÷ | 100 | ) | = | 100 | ( | a | − | 203 | ) |
| 15 | a | × | 160 | ÷ | 100 | = | 100 | ( | a | − | 203 | ) |
| 15 | a | × | 160 | ÷ | 100 | = | 100 | a | − | 100 | × | 203 |
| 24 | a | = | 100 | a | − | 20300 |
| 24 | a | − | 100 | a | = | - | 20300 |
| - | 76 | a | = | - | 20300 |
| 20300 | = | 76 | a |
| 76 | a | = | 20300 |
| a | = | 20300 | ÷ | 76 |
| = | 20300 | × | 1 76 |
| = | 5075 | × | 1 19 |
| a | = | 5075 19 |
| a | = | 267.105263 |
