Question

Solve the equation or formula for the variable indicated.



r=wp,forp

Answer 1

To solve the equation \( r = wp \) for \( p \), you want to isolate \( p \).

Here are the steps:

1. Start with the equation:
\[
r = wp
\]

2. To isolate \( p \), divide both sides by \( w \):
\[
p = \frac{r}{w}
\]

So, the solution for \( p \) in terms of \( r \) and \( w \) is:
\[
p = \frac{r}{w}
\]
