Question

Gavin wrote the equation p=(3(s+100))/(4) to represent p, the profit he makes from s sales in his lawn-mowing business. Which equation is solved for s? s=(p-100)/(3) s=(4p-300)/(3) s=(4p)/(300) s=(400p)/(3) Mark this and return

Answer 1

To solve for s in the equation p=(3(s+100))/(4), you can isolate s by performing inverse operations.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation p=(3(s+100))/(4) for s, we need to isolate s on one side of the equation. We can do this by performing the inverse operations. First, multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to get rid of the denominator:

4p = 3(s + 100)

Next, distribute 3 to the terms inside the parenthesis:

4p = 3s + 300

Then, subtract 300 from both sides to isolate 3s:

4p - 300 = 3s

Finally, divide both sides by 3 to solve for s:

s = (4p - 300)/3
