Explanation
The correct answer is 1.2. One way to solve the equation is to first distribute the terms outside the parentheses to the terms inside the parentheses: 
. Next, combine like terms on the left side of the equal sign: 
. Subtracting 10p from both sides yields 
. Finally, dividing both sides by 
gives 
, which is equivalent to 
. Note that 1.2 and 6/5 are examples of ways to enter a correct answer.
