| ( | 2857 5 | − | y | ) | ÷ | y | = | 15 200 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | y |
| ( | 2857 5 | − | y | ) | = | 15 200 | y |
2857 5 | − | y | = | 15 200 | y |
| - | y | − | 15 200 | y | = | - | 2857 5 |
| - | 43 40 | y | = | - | 2857 5 |
2857 5 | = | 43 40 | y |
43 40 | y | = | 2857 5 |
| y | = | 2857 5 | ÷ | 43 40 |
| = | 2857 5 | × | 40 43 |
| = | 2857 | × | 8 43 |
| y | = | 22856 43 |
| y | = | 531.534884 |
