Simplifying
35p(1 + 53) = 312
Combine like terms: 1 + 53 = 54
35p(54) = 312
Reorder the terms for easier multiplication:
35 * 54p = 312
Multiply 35 * 54
1890p = 312
Solving
1890p = 312
Solving for variable 'p'.
Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.
Divide each side by '1890'.
p = 0.1650793651
Simplifying
p = 0.1650793651
p=6.06. If you do what's in the parentheses first you get 54 and then you multiply that with 35p and get 1890p. Then you divide each side by 312 and get 6.057 or 6.06 if you round it down to the hundredths.
