Question

How do I solve I=prt for p when I= 5,480 r= .04 t= 7

Answer 1

We must solve for p the following equation:

`I=p\cdot r\cdot t,`

when I = 5,480, r = 0.4 and t = 7.

From the equation we see that:

`I=p\cdot(r\cdot t)\text{.}`

Passing the parenthesis as a quotient to the left-hand side, we have:

`p=(I)/(r\cdot t)\text{.}`

Replacing the value of I, r and t from the statement, and then computing, we find that:
