$$y=1225\left(\frac{5}{288}-1\right)$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{288}{288}.

$$y=1225\left(\frac{5}{288}-\frac{288}{288}\right)$$

Since \frac{5}{288} and \frac{288}{288} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$y=1225\times \frac{5-288}{288}$$

Subtract 288 from 5 to get -283.

$$y=1225\left(-\frac{283}{288}\right)$$

Express 1225\left(-\frac{283}{288}\right) as a single fraction.

$$y=\frac{1225\left(-283\right)}{288}$$

Multiply 1225 and -283 to get -346675.

$$y=\frac{-346675}{288}$$

Fraction \frac{-346675}{288} can be rewritten as -\frac{346675}{288} by extracting the negative sign.

$$y=-\frac{346675}{288}$$
