Solve 8748=P(1-18/100)^3

$$8748 = P ( 1 - \frac { 18 } { 100 } ) ^ { 3 }$$

Solve for P

$$P = \frac{1093500000}{68921} = 15865\frac{68335}{68921} \approx 15865.991497512$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{18}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$8748=P\left(1-\frac{9}{50}\right)^{3}$$

Subtract \frac{9}{50} from 1 to get \frac{41}{50}.

$$8748=P\times \left(\frac{41}{50}\right)^{3}$$

Calculate \frac{41}{50} to the power of 3 and get \frac{68921}{125000}.

$$8748=P\times \frac{68921}{125000}$$

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$P\times \frac{68921}{125000}=8748$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{125000}{68921}, the reciprocal of \frac{68921}{125000}.

$$P=8748\times \frac{125000}{68921}$$

Multiply 8748 and \frac{125000}{68921} to get \frac{1093500000}{68921}.

$$P=\frac{1093500000}{68921}$$
