Answer 1

To determine how many bags Damar needs to sell, we can subtract his current amount ($40) from his goal amount ($85):

$85 - $40 = $45

Next, we need to divide the remaining amount he needs to earn ($45) by the price per bag ($3):

$45 / $3 = 15

Therefore, Damar needs to sell 15 bags of popcorn to make his goal.

The correct answer is 15.
