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​

Answer 1

s = (4p - 300) / 3

Explanation:

To determine the equation that is solved for s, we must isolate s using the following steps:

Step 1: Multiply both sides by 4:

(p = 3(s+100)/4) * 4

4p = 3(s+100)

Step 2: Distribute the 3:

4p = 3s + 300

Step 3: Subtract 300 from both sides:

(4p = 3s + 300) - 300

4p - 300 = 3s

Step 4: Divide both sides by 3:

s = (4p - 300)/3
