    As written, your "p" cancel out.

    Presuming you really mean:

    v = 100(1 - pq) / (p + q)

    To solve this for p, first I'll multiply both sides by the denominator then expand both sides:

    v(p + q) = 100(1 - pq)

    pv + qv = 100 - 100pq

    Now move any term with "p" in it to the left side and all other terms to the right:

    pv + 100pq = 100 - qv

    Now we can factor out the p:

    p(v + 100q) = 100 - qv

    And divide both sides by (v + 100q):

    p = (100 - qv) / (v + 100q)
