Решим уравнение:
$$k - \frac{2}{5}k = 4,5$$
$$k(1 - \frac{2}{5}) = 4,5$$
$$k(\frac{5}{5} - \frac{2}{5}) = 4,5$$
$$\frac{3}{5}k = 4,5$$
$$k = 4,5 : \frac{3}{5}$$
$$k = 4,5 \cdot \frac{5}{3}$$
$$k = \frac{45}{10} \cdot \frac{5}{3}$$
$$k = \frac{15 \cdot 3 \cdot 5}{5 \cdot 2 \cdot 3}$$
$$k = \frac{15}{2}$$
$$k = 7,5$$
Ответ: 7,5.
