The correct answer is 15.

To determine the number of bags Damari needs to sell, we subtract his current balance of $40 from his goal of $85.

$85 - $40 = $45

Since each bag sells for $3, we divide the remaining amount needed by the price per bag:

$45 / $3 = 15

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