Nico dropped the brand new bottle of dog shampoo and 3 ounces spilled out. He measures 1 and one-fourth ounces each time he shampoos his dog and the bottle of shampoo originally contained 30 and one-half ounces. Which is the correct equation and value of x, the number of times Nico can bathe his dog using this one bottle?

1 and one-fourth x minus 3 = 30 and one-half; x = 22 times
1 and one-fourth x + 3 = 30 and one-half; x = 27 times
1 and one-fourth x + 3 = 30 and one-half; x = 22 times
1 and one-fourth x minus 3 = 30 and one-half; x = 27 times
