900=72\left(10+\frac{y}{9}+\frac{2}{9}\right)\times 0.98
Multiply both sides of the equation by 9.
900=72\left(\frac{90}{9}+\frac{y}{9}+\frac{2}{9}\right)\times 0.98
Convert 10 to fraction \frac{90}{9}.
900=72\left(\frac{90+2}{9}+\frac{y}{9}\right)\times 0.98
Since \frac{90}{9} and \frac{2}{9} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
900=72\left(\frac{92}{9}+\frac{y}{9}\right)\times 0.98
Add 90 and 2 to get 92.
900=72\times \frac{92+y}{9}\times 0.98
Since \frac{92}{9} and \frac{y}{9} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.
900=70.56\times \frac{92+y}{9}
Multiply 72 and 0.98 to get 70.56.
900=70.56\left(\frac{92}{9}+\frac{1}{9}y\right)
Divide each term of 92+y by 9 to get \frac{92}{9}+\frac{1}{9}y.
900=70.56\times \frac{92}{9}+70.56\times \frac{1}{9}y
Use the distributive property to multiply 70.56 by \frac{92}{9}+\frac{1}{9}y.
900=\frac{1764}{25}\times \frac{92}{9}+70.56\times \frac{1}{9}y
Convert decimal number 70.56 to fraction \frac{7056}{100}. Reduce the fraction \frac{7056}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.
900=\frac{1764\times 92}{25\times 9}+70.56\times \frac{1}{9}y
Multiply \frac{1764}{25} times \frac{92}{9} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
900=\frac{162288}{225}+70.56\times \frac{1}{9}y
Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{1764\times 92}{25\times 9}.
900=\frac{18032}{25}+70.56\times \frac{1}{9}y
Reduce the fraction \frac{162288}{225} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 9.
900=\frac{18032}{25}+\frac{1764}{25}\times \frac{1}{9}y

900=\frac{18032}{25}+\frac{1764\times 1}{25\times 9}y
Multiply \frac{1764}{25} times \frac{1}{9} by multiplying numerator times numerator and denominator times denominator.
900=\frac{18032}{25}+\frac{1764}{225}y
Do the multiplications in the fraction \frac{1764\times 1}{25\times 9}.
900=\frac{18032}{25}+\frac{196}{25}y
Reduce the fraction \frac{1764}{225} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 9.
\frac{18032}{25}+\frac{196}{25}y=900
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
\frac{196}{25}y=900-\frac{18032}{25}
Subtract \frac{18032}{25} from both sides.
\frac{196}{25}y=\frac{22500}{25}-\frac{18032}{25}
Convert 900 to fraction \frac{22500}{25}.
