Pn=\left(R-C\right)f
Multiply both sides of the equation by n.
Pn=Rf-Cf
Use the distributive property to multiply R-C by f.
Rf-Cf=Pn
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
-Cf=Pn-Rf
Subtract Rf from both sides.
\left(-f\right)C=Pn-Rf
The equation is in standard form.
\frac{\left(-f\right)C}{-f}=\frac{Pn-Rf}{-f}
Divide both sides by -f.
C=\frac{Pn-Rf}{-f}
Dividing by -f undoes the multiplication by -f.
C=-\frac{Pn}{f}+R
Divide Pn-Rf by -f.
