Explanation:

Step1: Isolate p by subtracting 5

$p = 8\frac{3}{10} - 5$

Step2: Convert whole number to fraction

$p = \frac{83}{10} - \frac{50}{10}$

Step3: Subtract the fractions

$p = \frac{83 - 50}{10} = \frac{33}{10}$

Step4: Convert to mixed number (optional)

$p = 3\frac{3}{10}$

Answer:

$3\frac{3}{10}$ or $\frac{33}{10}$
