It appears that you are confused because the way various
expressions are represented, these can be interpreted in different ways. You can
represent the expression more clearly as:
Instead
of:
I.
15660x2/3x1/2=5220.
15660
x (2/3) x (1/2) = 5220
This can be simplified
as:
==> 15660 x (2x1)/(3x2) =
5220
==> 15660 x (1/3) =
5220
==> 15660/3) =
5220
In this case:
($15660 -
answer) x (2/3) = answer, becomes
($15660 - 5220) x (2/3) =
5220
II.
Similarly Instead
of:
(15660-5220)x2/3=6960.
(15660
- 5220) x (2/3) = 6960
This can be simplified
as:
==> (10440) x (2/3) =
6960
==> (10440 x 2)/3 =
6960
==> 20880/3 =
6960
In this case:
($15660 -
answer) - $600 = answer, becomes,
($15660 - 6960) - $600 =
6960
Please note that this equation is not correct. There
appears to be some error in question posted. The correct value of ($15660 - 6960) -
$600 is 8100
This equation can be balanced with value of
answer as 7530. Then the equation becomes:
($15660 - 7530)
- $600 = 7530
