The equation to find p.

The original price of each Bright Streak paint set.

Solution:

Tanvi purchases 40 Bright Streak paint by spending  $310 in all.

She uses a coupon she received in the mail for $10 off her purchase.

Let 'p' be the  original price of each Bright Streak paint set.

The equation to find p is,

40p - 10 = 310

40p = 310 + 10

40p = 320

p = $\frac{320}{40}$

P = 8

The original price of each Bright Streak paint set is $8

Final answer:

The equation to find p, the original price of each Bright Streak paint set is

40p - 10 = 310

The original price of each Bright Streak paint set is $8
