1 answer

To determine how many bags Damarius needs to sell to reach his goal, we can use the following equation:

Total earnings = (Number of bags sold * Price per bag) + Current earnings

Let's assign some variables:
Number of bags sold = x
Price per bag = $3
Current earnings = $40
Total earnings = $85

The equation becomes:
85 = (3 * x) + 40

Now let's solve for x:
85 - 40 = 3x
45 = 3x

Dividing both sides by 3:
x = 45 / 3
x = 15

So, Damarius needs to sell 15 bags of popcorn to reach his goal of earning $85.
