You need to understand what a franction is.
If you multiply a fraction, x/y by a non franction, z then you need to
mult. x by z, then divide by y
so 2/3 of 22,500 is:
22,500 times 2, then divided by 3:
22,500(2) = 45,000
45,000/3 = 15,000
Do the same thing for the other one.

1) 22,500 x 2 / 3 = 15,000
2) 22,500 x 4 / 5 = 18,000
or
1) 22,500 / 3 x 2 = 15,000
2) 22,500 / 5 x 4 = 18,000

1) (2/3)*2=2*2/3=4/3
2) (4/5)*$22,500=4*$22,500/5=$90,000/5=$18,000

22500 * 2 / 3 = 15000
and
22500 * 4 / 5 = 18000
you can do it in your head, or use a calculator :-)
