Answer 1

To determine the number of bags Damari needs to sell to make his goal, we can subtract the amount of money he already has from his goal, and then divide it by the price per bag of popcorn.

Goal - Current amount = Money needs to be earned
$85 - $40 = $45

$45 / $3 = 15

Hence, Damari needs to sell 15 bags of popcorn to make his goal.
