Karen bought a $6.95 canvas and 8 tubes of paint. She spent $24.95 on the canvas and the paints. Which equation can be used to find the cost of each tube of paint?

A. 6.95 + 8c = 24.95
B. 8 - 6.95c = 24.95
C. 6.95 - 8c = 24.95
D. 8 + 6.95c = 24.95

Well, the answer to this question is A is because if we carefully look at this problem, then we can see that Karen bought a canvas for $6.95 and she also bought 8 tubes of paint. Now, the total amount of money that she spent is $24.95.

So, in this problem, our $6.95 is the cost for the canvas that she bought whereas when she mentions buying 8 tubes of paint, she doesn't mention how much each tube of paint costs so, the cost for one tube of paint is unknown and thus, it is a variable.

So, in conclusion, the answer to this question is definitly, A. 6.95 + 8c = 24.95
