Explanation:
We can start by using an equation to represent the given information. Let's call the number p, and the number k, then:
k = (1/5)p + 6
So, "six more than one-fifth of a number p is equal to a number k" can be represented mathematically as k = (1/5)p + 6. To find the value of p, we can solve for p:
p = 5k - 30
So, p is equal to 5 times the value of k minus 30.
