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.

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.
