Damari is selling popcorn for 3$ a bag he already has 40$ and his goal is to earn 85$ total use arithmetic to determin how many bags he needs to sell

Answer 1

To determine how many bags Damari needs to sell, we can subtract the amount he already has from his goal.

Damari already has $40 and his goal is to earn $85 total.

$85 - $40 = $45

Since Damari is selling each bag for $3, we can divide the remaining amount needed by the price per bag to determine how many bags he needs to sell.

$45 ÷ $3 = 15

Therefore, Damari needs to sell 15 bags in order to reach his goal of $85.
