So the given is p + 0.15p/2. First, find the least common multiple as the denominator of the sum. That would be 2. Then, for each term, divide the lcm with the term's denominator and multiply it with the numerator. For example, for the term p, it would be (2÷1)*p = 2p. Hence the sum would be:
(2p + 0.15p)/2
(2.15p/2
1.075p
The final expression is 1.075p.
