Answer

$P=\dfrac{I}{rt}$

Work Step by Step

$\bf{\text{Solution Outline:}}$ To solve the given equation, $ I=Prt $ for $ P ,$ use the properties of equality to isolate the variable. $\bf{\text{Solution Details:}}$ Using the properties of equality to isolate the variable, the equation above is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} I=Prt \\\\ \dfrac{I}{rt}=\dfrac{Prt}{rt} \\\\ \dfrac{I}{rt}=P \\\\ P=\dfrac{I}{rt} .\end{array}
