Solve 1200(1+y)=2500

$$1200 ( 1 + y ) = 2500$$

Solve for y

$$y = \frac{13}{12} = 1\frac{1}{12} \approx 1.083333333$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Divide both sides by 1200.

$$1+y=\frac{2500}{1200}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{2500}{1200} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 100.

$$1+y=\frac{25}{12}$$

Subtract 1 from both sides.

$$y=\frac{25}{12}-1$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{12}{12}.

$$y=\frac{25}{12}-\frac{12}{12}$$

Since \frac{25}{12} and \frac{12}{12} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$y=\frac{25-12}{12}$$

Subtract 12 from 25 to get 13.

$$y=\frac{13}{12}$$
