Question

If p + 3r is equal to 150 percent of 6r, what is the value of p/r ?

Answer 1

p + 3r = 9r

Answer 2

p + 3r is 150% of 6r so...

\[ p + 3r = \frac{150}{100} \times 6r\]
so... \[100(p + 3r) = 150 \times 6r\]
\[\implies 100p + 300r = 900r\]
\[\implies 100p = 900 r - 300r\]
\[\implies 100p = 600r\]
divide both sides by 600r
\[\implies \frac{100p}{600r} = 1\]
simplify
\[\implies \frac {p}{6r} = 1\]
cross multiply..
\[\implies \frac pr = 6\]
does that help?
