3/7 because that is the number being added to the zero in the equation
Well if you subtract 437.5 from 500 you get 62.5 that is the difference between them but in fraction form it would be 5/8.

Choice B and Choice C
====================================================
Reasoning:
c = cost of one crate (some unknown amount in dollars)
c+20 = cost of a crate and a leash
5(c+20) = cost of five sets of items mentioned
5(c+20) = 475 is one equation we can form
5c+100 = 475 is another equation we can form
I used the distributive rule to go from 5(c+20) to 5c+100.
The 100 indicates that the five leashes combine to $100, since 5*20 = 100.
The 5c represents the cost of all five crates combined.
So 5c+100 is another way to express the total cost of all five crates and all five leashes.
---------------
Side note: Solving either equation leads to c = 75, meaning that each crate costs $75.
