Explanation
Given that 12 players chose a bottle of water which is 3/4 of the total number of players (p). The equation to determine p can be seen below
We can create the equation below;
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{4}\text{ of p =12} \\ \frac{3}{4}\times P=12 \\ Cross\text{ multiply} \\ 3p=12\times4 \\ Divide\text{ both sides by 3} \\ p=\frac{12\times4}{3} \\ p=4\times4 \\ p=16 \end{gathered}[/tex]
