Explanation

Choice B is correct. Solving the given equation for Q gives the quantity of the product sold in terms of P and T. Dividing both sides of the given equation by P yields $T over P, equals Q$ , or $Q equals, T over P$ . Therefore, $Q equals, T over P$ gives the quantity of product sold in terms of P and T.

Choice A is incorrect and may result from an error when dividing both sides of the given equation by P. Choice C is incorrect and may result from multiplying, rather than dividing, both sides of the given equation by P. Choice D is incorrect and may result from subtracting P from both sides of the equation rather than dividing both sides by P.
