Question

3/4 of P is 18, what is the value of P

Answer 1

Answer:

P = 24

Explanations:
`(3)/(4)\text{ of P = 18}`

This can be rewritten as:

`\begin{gathered} (3)/(4)*\text{ P = 18} \\ (3P)/(4)\text{ = 18} \end{gathered}`

Cross multiply:

3P = 18 x 4

3P = 72

Divide both sides by 3:

`\begin{gathered} (3P)/(3)=\text{ }(72)/(3) \\ P\text{ = 24} \end{gathered}`
