Question 1149983
<br>
(1) 450000 is 5/7 of his interest, which we can call x:<br>
{{{450000 = (5/7)x}}}
{{{(7/5)(450000) = (7/5)(5/7)x = x}}}
{{{7*90000 = x}}}
{{{x = 630000}}}<br>
Kimaro's interest in the operation before selling was 630000.<br>
(2) 630000 was 3/5 of the total value of the operation, which we can call x:<br>
{{{630000 = (3/5)x}}}
{{{(5/3)(630000) = (5/3)(3/5)x = x}}}
{{{5*210000 = x}}}
{{{x = 1050000}}}<br>
The total value of the operation is 1050000.<br>
