\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The problem gives you the formula:
\n" ); document.write( "3/4p=120
\n" ); document.write( "all you need to do is solve for p:
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "3/4p=120
\n" ); document.write( "start by multiplying both sides by 4:
\n" ); document.write( "4 * 3/4p = 4 * 120
\n" ); document.write( "3p= 480
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by 3:
\n" ); document.write( "3p/3 = 480/3
\n" ); document.write( "p = $160\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
