Question

Will give brainliest!!! 2.6(5.5p – 12.4) = 127.92 p=

Answer 1

Answer:

$p=11.2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given $2.6(5.5p-12.4)=127.92$, distribute to remove the parentheses:

$2.6\cdot 5.5p-2.6\cdot 12.4=127.92$

Simplify:

$14.3p-32.24=127.92$

Add 32.24 to both sides:

$14.3p=160.16$

Divide both sides by 14.3:

$p=\frac{160.16}{14.3}=\boxed{11.2}$
