Question 522202: Hello, am trying to solve this problem and and no clue where to start. I actually can't even find and example in my test book so I really am at a loss. The question is I = prt: I=21 P=210 and R=0.05 find the value of the variable not given.
I know the answer is 2 because I got it wrong on my exam I am just needing to know how to get that answer.

here's what you do:
given: I=PRT, P=210, R=0.05.
we need to find the value of the variable which is not given - T
from equation I=PRT, we find T
T=I/(PR)
substituting numbers into the equation, we get:
T=21/(210*0.05) = 2
