To find out how many additional bags of popcorn Damari needs to sell to reach his goal of earning a total of $85, we start by determining how much more money he needs:
-
Calculate the amount needed to reach the goal: \[ \text{Amount needed} = \text{Goal} - \text{Current amount} \] \[ \text{Amount needed} = 85 - 40 = 45 \]
-
Determine how many bags of popcorn he needs to sell to earn this amount: \[ \text{Number of bags needed} = \frac{\text{Amount needed}}{\text{Price per bag}} \] \[ \text{Number of bags needed} = \frac{45}{3} = 15 \]
Damari needs to sell 15 additional bags of popcorn to reach his goal of $85.
