Which equation can you use to find p, the original price of each Bright Streak paint set?

Tanvi purchases 40 Bright Streak paint sets. Each paint set costs p dollars. Tanvi uses a $10 coupon and pays $310 in all. This equation represents the situation.

40p

−

10

=

310

cost of all the paint sets

discount applied from coupon

total amount paid

The equation 40p–10=310 can be used to find the original price of each Bright Streak paint set. Solve the equation for p.

40p–10

= 310

40p

= 320 Add 10 to both sides

p

= 8 Divide both sides by 40

The original price of each Bright Streak paint set was $8.
