y=6000+\left(a-1\right)\times 6000\times \frac{1}{4}
Reduce the fraction \frac{25}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 25.
y=6000+\left(a-1\right)\times 1500
Multiply 6000 and \frac{1}{4} to get 1500.
y=6000+1500a-1500
Use the distributive property to multiply a-1 by 1500.
y=4500+1500a
Subtract 1500 from 6000 to get 4500.
4500+1500a=y
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
1500a=y-4500
Subtract 4500 from both sides.
\frac{1500a}{1500}=\frac{y-4500}{1500}
Divide both sides by 1500.
a=\frac{y-4500}{1500}
Dividing by 1500 undoes the multiplication by 1500.
a=\frac{y}{1500}-3
Divide y-4500 by 1500.
y=6000+\left(a-1\right)\times 6000\times \frac{1}{4}
Reduce the fraction \frac{25}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 25.
y=6000+\left(a-1\right)\times 1500
Multiply 6000 and \frac{1}{4} to get 1500.
y=6000+1500a-1500
Use the distributive property to multiply a-1 by 1500.
y=4500+1500a
Subtract 1500 from 6000 to get 4500.
