Please help with this algebra II question. It needs to be simplified. Thank you.

Hello and welcome,

This is not a question, but rather a symbolic expression.

Would you like the expression simplified? One way is to note that $\frac{n}{p} - 1 = \frac{n - p}{p}$. How can you now simplify the denominator further?
