Let p be the original price of each Bright Streak paint set.
The total cost of the paint sets is 40p.
After using the coupon, the total cost is 40p - 10.
Therefore, the equation is 40p - 10 = 310.
Tanvi teaches art lessons at a day camp and needs to get supplies. She purchases 40 Bright
Streak paint sets from the Color Splash art store. She uses a coupon she received in the mail
for $10 off her purchase. Tanvi spends $310 in all.

To find the original price of each Bright Streak paint set, we need to solve the equation 40p - 10 = 310 for p.
Adding 10 to both sides of the equation, we get:
40p = 320
Dividing both sides by 40, we get:
p = 8
Therefore, the original price of each Bright Streak paint set was $8.
Adding 10 to both sides of the equation, we get:
40p = 320
Dividing both sides by 40, we get:
p = 8
Therefore, the original price of each Bright Streak paint set was $8.
