Answer 1

To find how many bags Damari needs to sell to make his goal, we need to calculate the difference between his goal and the money he already has.

Goal - Current money = Money needed to reach the goal
$85 - $40 = $45

Since each bag costs $3, we can calculate the number of bags Damari needs to sell by dividing the money needed to reach the goal by the cost of each bag.

$45 / $3 = 15

Therefore, Damari needs to sell 15 bags to make his goal.
