Best painters charges $100 to paint a room and $15 per can of paint used. Top Painters charges $75 to paint a room and $30 per can of paint used. Which equation could be used to find the number of cans of paint (p) for which the cost of the two companies is the same?

a) 45p = 175
b) p(100 + 15) = p(75 + 30)
c) 100p + 15 = 75p + 30
d) 15p + 100 = 30p + 75
