You asked:

Solve the equation \[y - y \cdot .025 - y \cdot .15 - 250 = 498.16\] for the unknown \(y\).

MathBot Answer:

The solution is: \[y = \frac{149632}{165} = 906.8\overline{60}\]


\[\begin{aligned}y - y \cdot .025 - y \cdot .15 - 250 &= 498.16\\0.825 y - 250 &= 498.16\\0.825 y &= 748.16\\y &= \frac{149632}{165}\end{aligned}\]
