| ( | 2872 5 | − | y | ) | ÷ | y | = | 67 1000 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | y |
| ( | 2872 5 | − | y | ) | = | 67 1000 | y |
2872 5 | − | y | = | 67 1000 | y |
| - | y | − | 67 1000 | y | = | - | 2872 5 |
| - | 1067 1000 | y | = | - | 2872 5 |
2872 5 | = | 1067 1000 | y |
1067 1000 | y | = | 2872 5 |
| y | = | 2872 5 | ÷ | 1067 1000 |
| = | 2872 5 | × | 1000 1067 |
| = | 2872 | × | 200 1067 |
| y | = | 574400 1067 |
