Question

Solve the simple interest formula, I = Prt, for P. (2 points)

P = Irt

P equals r over i t

P equals i over r t

Answer 1

t= i/pr

Explanation:

We were given that the amount of simple interest earned is given by the formula, i= prt

The above formula is an example of a literal equation.

We want to solve this formula for T.

But we can observe that the product of two letters are multiplying the letter T.

So we multiply both sides of the literal equation by the reciprocal of PR witch is 1/PR to obtain, I*1/PR=*PRT

This implies that, i/pr=t

We can rewrite this as, t=i/pr

Therefore the correct answer is C.

Answer 2

P equals I over r t
