Lars consumes only potatoes and herring. When the price of potatoes was 9 crowns per sack and the price of herring was 5 crowns per crock, he spent his entire income to buy 5 sacks of potatoes and 10 crocks of herring per month.

To pay for this subsidy, the government introduced an income tax. Lars pays an income tax of 20 crowns per month. If s is the number of sacks of potatoes and c is the number of crocks of herring, what is Lars's new budget equation?
A) 9s + 5c = 100.
B) 14s + 5c = 95.
C) 4s + 5c = 95.
