29.94/1.45 * 100/10 * 10/100,
100/10 * 10/100 = 1,
2994/14.5 = 172 given,
172 * 10/100,
17.2.
100/10 * 10/100 = 1,
2994/14.5 = 172 given,
172 * 10/100,
17.2.

14.5=172
1.45 = ?.
So, 1.45 * 172/14.5=17.2.
1.45 = ?.

29.94/1.45 = ((2994x10^(-2)/(14.5 * 10^(-1)).
29.94/1.45 = (2994x14.5)x10^(-1),
29.94/1.45 = 172x10^(-1),
29.94/1.45 = 17.2.
29.94/1.45 = (2994x14.5)x10^(-1),
29.94/1.45 = 172x10^(-1),
29.94/1.45 = 17.2.

@Janhavi.
Multiplying with 1/10 means dividing 2994 by 10 which gives 299.4 without altering the rules.
