Solve the literal equation

The gravitational potential energy of an object is given by the formula P = mgh.
Which equation is correctly solved for the height, h?
A.)  h = P + mg
B.)  h = P - mg
C.)       P
     h = ----
           mg

​D.)  h = Pmg

---

To solve P = mgh for h, just divide each side by mg.

                P
C.)  h = --------   {divided each side by mg}
               mg
