• Hatua ya 1: Acha deni la awali liwe $D$. Chris alilipa 60% ya deni, ambayo ni $0.60D$. Familia yake ililipa 33% ya deni, ambayo ni $0.33D$. Jumla ya deni lililolipwa ni:

  $$0.60D + 0.33D = 0.93D$$

• Hatua ya 2: Kiasi kilichobaki kulipwa ni deni lote dikupunguza kiasi kilicholipwa. Kiasi hiki ni $105.

  $$D = \frac{105}{0.07} = 1500$$
