| x | ÷ | ( | 100 | + | x | ) | = | 87 2500 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 100 | + | x | ) |
| x | = | 87 2500 | ( | 100 | + | x | ) |
| x | = | 87 2500 | × | 100 | + | 87 2500 | x |
| x | = | 87 25 | + | 87 2500 | x |
| x | − | 87 2500 | x | = | 87 25 |
2413 2500 | x | = | 87 25 |
| x | = | 87 25 | ÷ | 2413 2500 |
| = | 87 25 | × | 2500 2413 |
| = | 87 | × | 100 2413 |
| x | = | 8700 2413 |
| x | = | 3.60547 |
