To transmit information on the internet, large files are broken into packets of smaller sizes. Each packet has 1,500 bytes of information. An equation relating packets to bytes of information is given by \(b = 1,\!500p\), where \(p\) represents the number of packets and \(b\) represents the number of bytes of information.
