Question:

What is the value of p, if 25(3 + 4p) ÷ 12 of 5 - 3 × 8 = 6 ?

Options:

72

69

$15\frac{1}{3}$

$17\frac{1}{4}$

Correct Answer:

$17\frac{1}{4}$

Explanation:

 25(3 + 4p) ÷ 12 of 5 - 3 × 8 = 6

= 75 + 100P ÷ 60 - 24 = 6

= 75 + 100P ÷ 60 = 30

=  75 + 100P = 1800

= 100P = 1725

P = 17.25 or $17\frac{1}{4}$
