| 8 | p | × | 3 20 | = | 8 | p | × | 19 20 | − | 300 |
| Left side of the equation = | 6 5 | p |
6 5 | p | = | 8 | p | × | 19 20 | − | 300 |
| Right side of the equation = | 38 5 | p | − | 300 |
6 5 | p | = | 38 5 | p | − | 300 |
6 5 | p | − | 38 5 | p | = | - | 300 |
| - | 32 5 | p | = | - | 300 |
| 300 | = | 32 5 | p |
32 5 | p | = | 300 |
| p | = | 300 | ÷ | 32 5 |
| = | 300 | × | 5 32 |
| = | 75 | × | 5 8 |
| p | = | 375 8 |
| p | = | 46.875 |
