Answer 1

To determine the number of bags Damari needs to sell, we can use arithmetic.

Let's subtract the amount of money Damari already has ($40) from his goal ($85):

$85 - $40 = $45

Now, we divide the remaining amount he needs to earn ($45) by the price of each bag ($3):

$45 ÷ $3 = 15

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