OK. Then let's solve for ' r '. That means you have to come up with an equation that says r = everything else.
Step #1:
Write the equation you're given: S = L (1 - r)
Let's divide each side by ' L ': S/L = 1 - r
Subtract 1 from each side : S/L - 1 = -r
Multiply each side by -1 : 1 - S/L = r
and there you have it.
