| ( | 37 | + | y | ) | ÷ | ( | 141 | + | y | ) | = | 45 100 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 141 | + | y | ) |
| ( | 37 | + | y | ) | = | 45 100 | ( | 141 | + | y | ) |
| 37 | + | y | = | 45 100 | ( | 141 | + | y | ) |
| 37 | + | y | = | 45 100 | × | 141 | + | 45 100 | y |
| 37 | + | y | = | 1269 20 | + | 45 100 | y |
| y | − | 45 100 | y | = | 1269 20 | − | 37 |
11 20 | y | = | 1269 20 | − | 37 |
11 20 | y | = | 529 20 |
| y | = | 529 20 | ÷ | 11 20 |
| = | 529 20 | × | 20 11 |
| = | 529 | × | 1 11 |
| y | = | 529 11 |
| y | = | 48.090909 |
