Damari is selling popcorn for $3 a bag. He already has $40, and his goal is to earn $85 total. Use arithmetic to determine how many bags he needs to sell to make his goal.(1 point)

Question

A)28
B)15
C)135
D)205

Answer 1

We need to determine how much more money Damari needs to reach his goal.
$85 (goal) - $40 (current amount) = $45 (additional amount needed)
Each bag of popcorn costs $3, so to find the number of bags Damari needs to sell, we divide the additional amount needed by the cost per bag:
$45 ÷ $3 = 15
Therefore, Damari needs to sell 15 bags of popcorn to make his goal.
The correct answer is B) 15.
