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 bag he needs to sell to make his goal.

Question

28
15
135
205

Answer 1

Let x be the number of bags Damari needs to sell.
The total amount of money Damari earns from selling popcorn is 3*x.
His goal is to earn $85, so 3*x = 85.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 3, we get x = 85/3 = 28.33...
Damari cannot sell a fraction of a bag, so he needs to sell 28 bags to make his goal.
Therefore, Damari needs to sell 28 bags to make his goal. Answer: 28.
