| 5 | = | 51 10 | p | + | 2451 500 | ( | 1 | − | p | ) |
| Right side of the equation = | 51 10 | p | + | 2451 500 | × | 1 | − | 2451 500 | p |
| = | 51 10 | p | + | 2451 500 | − | 2451 500 | p |
| = | 99 500 | p | + | 2451 500 |
| 5 | = | 99 500 | p | + | 2451 500 |
| - | 99 500 | p | = | 2451 500 | − | 5 |
| - | 99 500 | p | = | - | 49 500 |
49 500 | = | 99 500 | p |
99 500 | p | = | 49 500 |
| p | = | 49 500 | ÷ | 99 500 |
| = | 49 500 | × | 500 99 |
| = | 49 | × | 1 99 |
| p | = | 49 99 |
| p | = | 0.494949 |
