Tayler has $320 to pay for dining room chairs. She expects to pay about $80 per chair. Her friend told her that she has 3 that Taylor can have for free.

Complete the equation below to find the total number of chairs that Taylor can get for her dining room. Use c to represent the total chairs.

If each chair costs 80 bucks, c chairs costs 80c bucks.

She has 3 already.

80(c - 3) = 320 because the total number of chairs is c, but for 3 of the chairs, she doesn't need to pay.
