$p=462.5$

Let's first multiply by 5 to get rid of the denominator:

$2/5p+30=215$

$2p+150=1075$

Now subtract 150 from both sides to have $p$ terms on one side and non- $p$ terms on the other:

$2p=925$

And now divide by 2:

$p=462.5$

How do you solve \frac { 2} { 5} p + 30= 215\frac { 2} { 5} p + 30= 215?
