Solve p*(1+8%)=189

$$p \times ( 1 + 8 \% ) = 189$$

Solve for p

$$p=175$$

Steps for Solving Linear Equation

Reduce the fraction \frac{8}{100} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 4.

$$p\left(1+\frac{2}{25}\right)=189$$

Convert 1 to fraction \frac{25}{25}.

$$p\left(\frac{25}{25}+\frac{2}{25}\right)=189$$

Since \frac{25}{25} and \frac{2}{25} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$p\times \frac{25+2}{25}=189$$

Add 25 and 2 to get 27.

$$p\times \frac{27}{25}=189$$

Multiply both sides by \frac{25}{27}, the reciprocal of \frac{27}{25}.

$$p=189\times \frac{25}{27}$$

Express 189\times \frac{25}{27} as a single fraction.

$$p=\frac{189\times 25}{27}$$

Multiply 189 and 25 to get 4725.

$$p=\frac{4725}{27}$$

Divide 4725 by 27 to get 175.

$$p=175$$
