Mr. Brown purchased tires for his car. The tires were $75 each, including tax, plus $10 for installation. Mr. Brown paid $160 for the tires and installation. Which equation can be used to find the number of tires, t, that Mr. Brown purchased?

A. t = 160 + 75(10)

B. 75 + t(10) = 160

C. 75t + 10 =160
