**Solving for p in the Equation B = C + pr**

To solve for \( p \) in the given formula, follow these steps:

1. **Start with the equation:**
   \[
   B = C + pr
   \]

2. **Isolate the term containing \( p \) by subtracting \( C \) from both sides:**
   \[
   B - C = pr
   \]

3. **Solve for \( p \) by dividing both sides by \( r \):**
   \[
   p = \frac{B - C}{r}
   \]

Hence, the formula for \( p \) is:
\[
p = \frac{B - C}{r}
\]
