To determine how many paints Lucia bought, we can start by calculating how much she spent on the paints after purchasing the canvas.
1. Lucia's total spending is $38.
2. The cost of the canvas is $20.
3. The amount spent on paints is:
\[
38 - 20 = 18 \text{ dollars}
\]
4. Each paint costs $3. To find out how many paints she bought, we divide the amount spent on paints by the cost of each paint:
\[
\frac{18}{3} = 6
\]
Thus, Lucia bought **6 paints**.
