Step  1  :

            69
 Simplify   ——
            4 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

          2475            69
  ((23 +  ————) +  53) +  ——
          100             4 

Step  2  :

            99
 Simplify   ——
            4 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

          99            69
  ((23 +  ——) +  53) +  ——
          4             4 

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Adding a fraction to a whole

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  4  as the denominator :

           23     23 • 4
     23 =  ——  =  ——————
           1        4   

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 3.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 23 • 4 + 99     191
 ———————————  =  ———
      4           4 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

   191           69
  (——— +  53) +  ——
    4            4 

Step  4  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 4.1   Adding a whole to a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  4  as the denominator :

          53     53 • 4
    53 =  ——  =  ——————
          1        4   

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 4.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

 191 + 53 • 4     403
 ————————————  =  ———
      4            4 

Equation at the end of step  4  :

  403    69
  ——— +  ——
   4     4 

Step  5  :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

 5.1       Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 403 + 69     118
 ————————  =  ———
    4          1 

Final result :

  118
