[tex] \frac{3}{5} p[/tex] - 4 = 25
First, simplify [tex] \frac{3}{5} p[/tex] to [tex] \frac{3p}{5} [/tex] / Your problem should look like: [tex] \frac{3p}{5} [/tex] - 4 = 25
Second, multiply both sides by 5. / Your problem should look like: 3p - 20 = 125
Third, add 20 to both sides. / Your problem should look like: 3p = 125 + 20
Fourth, simplify 125 + 20 to get 145. / Your problem should look like: 3p = 145
Fifth, divide both sides by 3. / Your problem should look like: p = [tex] \frac{145}{3} [/tex]
Answer as fraction: p = [tex] \frac{145}{3} [/tex]
Answer as decimal: 48.3333
