Let's set up the equation based on the given information. Quiana has 5 times more text messages from Yolanda than from Pierre, which means she has p/5 text messages from Pierre. We also know that Quiana has 40 text messages from Yolanda. So the equation could be written as p/5 = 40.
Therefore, the equation that can be used to find how many text messages Quiana has from Pierre is C. 5p = 40.
