Bonnie has a container in the shape of a rectangular pyramid. The formula for the surface area of the enclosed space is S = lw + 0.5Ph. Solve for P.

P = S - lw - 0.5h

P = S + lw + 0.5h

P = The quantity S minus l times w all divided by 0.5 times h

P = S divided by the quantity l times w plus 0.5 times h

S = lw + 0.5Ph

Taking 0.5Ph to left side:

- 0.5Ph = lw - S

Divideing both sides by - 1:

0.5Ph = - lw + S

Dividing both sides by 0.5h:

P = - lw + S/0.5*h

Re arranging the equation:

P = S - lw / 0.5*h

So according to above explanation

C. P = The quantity S minus l times w all divided by 0.5 times h, is the correct answer
