Solve for m P=c+mc

$P = c + m c$

Step 1

Rewrite the equation as $c + m c = P$ .

$c + m c = P$

Step 2

Subtract $c$ from both sides of the equation.

$m c = P - c$

Step 3

Divide each term in $m c = P - c$ by $c$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $m c = P - c$ by $c$ .

$\frac{m c}{c} = \frac{P}{c} + \frac{- c}{c}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $c$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{m c}{c} = \frac{P}{c} + \frac{- c}{c}$

Divide $m$ by $1$ .

$m = \frac{P}{c} + \frac{- c}{c}$

Simplify the right side.

Cancel the common factor of $c$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$m = \frac{P}{c} + \frac{- c}{c}$

Divide $- 1$ by $1$ .

$m = \frac{P}{c} - 1$
