Solve the formula $P=C+M C$ for $C$.
a. $C=\frac{P}{M}$
b. $C=\frac{P}{1+M}$
c. $C=P-M C$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Rewrite the equation
Start with the given equation:
\[
P = C + M C
\]
Step 2: Factor out \( C \)
Factor \( C \) from the right-hand side of the equation:
\[
P = C (1 + M)
\]
Step 3: Solve for \( C \)
Divide both sides of the equation by \( (1 + M) \) to isolate \( C \):
\[
C = \frac{P}{1 + M}
\]
