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:

$p=\frac{I}{r\cdot t}\text{.}$

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