Answer:

p = 1

Explanation:

2/5 + p = 4/5 + 3/5p

p - 3/5p = 4/5 - 2/5 (rearrange)

2/5p = 2/5 (simplify)

p = 1 (solve)

Answer:

p=1

Explanation:

The ultimate goal to solve for p is to isolate the variable so we can find out how much it is worth. First, we would subtract 2/5 from each side to get p=2/5+3/5p. Next, I used process of elimination to determine which answer it was. In this case, the answer was p=1.
