To determine how many bags Damari needs to sell, subtract the amount of money he already has from his goal: $85 - $40 = $<<85-40=45>>45.
Then, divide the remaining amount by the price per bag: $45 / $3 = <<45/3=15>>15 bags.
Damari needs to sell 15 bags of popcorn to reach his goal. Therefore, the correct answer is 15.
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.
