Question

Six more than one-fifth of a number p is equal to a number k.

Answer 1

Explanation:

We can start by using an equation to represent the given information. Let's call the number p, and the number k, then:

k = (1/5)p + 6

So, "six more than one-fifth of a number p is equal to a number k" can be represented mathematically as k = (1/5)p + 6. To find the value of p, we can solve for p:

p = 5k - 30

So, p is equal to 5 times the value of k minus 30.
