Answer:

p = [tex]\frac{16}{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{p}{20}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{p-4}{5}[/tex] ( cross- multiply )

20(p - 4) = 5p ← distribute left side

20p - 80 = 5p ( subtract 5p from both sides )

15p - 80 = 0 ( add 80 to both sides )

15p = 80 ( divide both sides by 15 )

p = [tex]\frac{80}{15}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{16}{3}[/tex]
