You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You have this formula a=p(1+rt) and are asked to find p.
\n" ); document.write( "Step 1. Forget the numeric values that you're given, and solve the formula for P.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"a=p%2A%281%2Br%2At%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "To leave p by itself you divide both sides by \"%281%2Br%2At%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "which gives you \"+%28a%2F%281%2Br%2At%29%29=p\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Step 2. Substitute.
\n" ); document.write( "you have
\n" ); document.write( "a =2071
\n" ); document.write( "r =0.03
\n" ); document.write( "t= 3
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28a%2F%281%2Br%2At%29%29=p\" = \"+%282071%2F%281%2B%280.03%29%2A%283%29%29%29=+1900\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So, then p = 1900 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
