If S=P(1+rt), make t the subject formula.
1. t= S/r - P/r
2. t= P/Sr - 1/r
3. t= S/r - P/r - 1/r
4. t= S/Pr - 1/r
Solve for t:
S = P (r t + 1)
Reverse the equality in S = P (r t + 1) in order to isolate t to the left-hand side.
S = P (r t + 1) is equivalent to P (r t + 1) = S:
P (r t + 1) = S
Divide both sides by a constant to simplify the equation.
Divide both sides by P:
r t + 1 = S/P
Isolate terms with t to the left-hand side.
Subtract 1 from both sides:
r t = (S - P)/P
Solve for t.
Divide both sides by r:
t = (S - P)/(P r)
