Everything on AA is calculated on Base Miles (also referred to as "Butt in seat Miles .

EQM is 100% of Base on AA operated flights and AA marketed (codeshares) flights.

Class of service, status and other bonus flight miles are calculated on Base Miles. In this instance AA F:

LHR-LAX = Base Miles = Elite-Qualfying Miles

Class of service bonus miles = BM x 50% (redeemable, not EQM)

Stats bonus miles (EXP or Plat) = BM x 100% (redeemable, not EQM)

EQ Points = BM x 150% (not redeemable, only quantifiable for stats award)

(I am not going to do the math - you didn't provide the Base Miles figure. )
