3/4 of a sum of money is 54p find the whole amount.

72p?
nooooo idea
To find the whole amount, we need to solve the equation using the given information.
Let's assume the sum of money is represented by the variable "x".
According to the information provided, 3/4 of this sum of money is equal to 54p. Mathematically, we can represent this as:
(3/4) * x = 54p
To find the whole amount, we need to isolate x.
To do this, we can multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of 3/4, which is 4/3:
(4/3) * (3/4) * x = (4/3) * 54p
The fraction (3/4) * (4/3) simplifies to 1:
1 * x = (4/3) * 54p
x = (4/3) * 54p
To simplify further, we can divide 54 by 3:
x = (4/3) * 18p
Now, multiply (4/3) by 18:
x = 24p
Therefore, the whole amount of money is 24p.
