To determine how many bags Damari needs to sell, we can subtract his current money from his goal money and divide by the cost of one bag of popcorn.
Goal money - Current money = Money needed to earn
$85 - $40 = $45
Money needed to earn / Cost of one bag = Number of bags needed to sell
$45 / $3 = 15
Therefore, Damari needs to sell 15 bags of popcorn to make his goal.
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)

To find the width of the rectangular garden, we can use the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle.
Perimeter = 2 * (length + width)
Since we know the perimeter is 24 feet and the length is 3 feet, we can substitute these values into the formula.
24 = 2 * (3 + width)
We can simplify this equation by distributing the 2.
24 = 6 + 2 * width
Next, we can isolate the term with the variable by subtracting 6 from both sides.
18 = 2 * width
Finally, we can solve for width by dividing both sides by 2.
width = 9
Therefore, the width of the rectangular garden needs to be 9 feet.
