We do not do your homework for you. Although it might take more effort to do the work on your own, you will profit more from your effort. We will be happy to evaluate your work though.
However, I will give you a start.
1. P + 40 = M
P = 5/8(360 - M) = 5/8(360 - P + 40) =?
Solve for P.
I hope that helps.
