I can't imagine what "economic figures" Karl is trying to calculate. We have no idea what the variables stand for; and the form of the equation is very odd.

Nevertheless, I will treat the post at face value and do what it SEEMS to be asking us to do -- solve the equation

fp-w=10000

for p, given that f=w and w=5+125i.

fp-w=10000
wp-w=10000
w%28p-1%29=10000
p-1=10000%2Fw
p=10000%2Fw%2B1
p=10000%2F%285%2B125i%29%2B1
