The sports boosters club is having a bake sale to buy uniforms. They want to raise $250. They need to rent a booth for $20. How many dozen cookies will they need to sell if they charge $3 per dozen?

Which equation could be used to solve this problem?

250 = 3c - 20
250 = 3 - 20c
250 = 20 - 3c
250 = 20c - 3

whatever they make at 3 dollars per dozen, they have to subtract the 20 for the booth.  what they need to make has to equal 250, the amount they want to raise.  Any ideas?
