Starting from D%2Fd=Q%2Br%2Fd, multiplying through by d gives highlight%28D=Qd%2Br%29

Given information is Q=15r, d=10r, Q=240.
Find then 240=15r, and highlight%28r=16%29.
From that, d=10*r, d=10*16, highlight%28d=160%29.

That is enough to find D.
D=Qd%2Br
D=240%2A160%2B16
D=38400%2B16
highlight%28D=38416%29
