The quotient when 17 less than p is divided by 8.
Well, let's first take 17 less than p. That'll be :-
[tex] \sf \: p - 17[/tex]
Note :- 'p' comes first as the question has the words - less than p.
Now, we have the remaining -> 'is divided by 8'.
The equation will become :-
[tex] \sf \:( p - 17) \div 8[/tex]
Note :- We have put the bracket because they have asked the quotient. To form a quotient you need 2 numbers - a divisor & a dividend. Hence, 2 numbers -> (p - 17) & 8.
So, Option D [tex]\boxed{\underline{\bf \: (p-17)÷8}}[/tex] is the correct answer.
