Given, that \(4P4_5 = 119_{10}\), find the value of P
1
2
3
4
Maelezo
\(4P4_5 = 119_{10}\)
\(4 \times 5^2 + P \times 5^1 + 4 \times 5^0 = 119\)
\(100 + 5P + 4 = 119\)
\(5P = 119 - 104 = 15\)
\(P = 3\)
\(4P4_5 = 119_{10}\)
\(4 \times 5^2 + P \times 5^1 + 4 \times 5^0 = 119\)
\(100 + 5P + 4 = 119\)
\(5P = 119 - 104 = 15\)
\(P = 3\)
