unit solving equations and inequalities

the movement of the progress bar may be uneven because questions can be worth more or less (including zero) depending on your answer.
in the simple interest formula, ( i = prt ), solve for the variable ( p ).
note: in this formula, ( p ) represents principle, ( i ) is interest, ( r ) is rate, and ( t ) is time.
\\( \bigcirc \\) ( p = \frac{i}{rt} )
\\( \bigcirc \\) ( p = \frac{i}{rt} ) (duplicate?)
\\( \bigcirc \\) ( p = \frac{it}{r} )
\\( \bigcirc \\) ( p = irt )

Explanation:

Step1: Isolate P by dividing both sides by $rt$

Starting with the formula: $I = Prt$
Divide each side by $rt$: $\frac{I}{rt} = \frac{Prt}{rt}$

Step2: Simplify to solve for P

Cancel $rt$ on the right side: $\frac{I}{rt} = P$

Answer:

$\boldsymbol{P = \frac{I}{rt}}$ (corresponding to the last option)
