Hello! So....

We are given the following:


(4250)/(204)= (y)/(528)

_______________________

1. Switch sides.


(y)/(528) =(4250)/(204)

_______________________

2. Cancel the common factor (34).


(y)/(528)= (125)/(6)

_______________________

3. Multiply both sides by 528.


(528y)/(528) =(125*528)/(6)

_______________________

4. Simplify.


y=11,000

^Hence, our solution.

____________________________________

Hope this helps! If so, please lmk! Thanks and good luck!

4,250/204 = y/528

Multiply both sides of the equation by 8976, the lowest common denominator of 204,528.

44×4250 = 17y

Multiply 44 and 4,250 to get 187,000.

187000 = 17y

Swap the sides so that all the terms of the variables are on the left side.

17y = 187000

Divide both sides by 17.

y = 187000/17

Divide 187,000 by 17 to get 11,000.

y=11000
