To find out how many cones Dimmy needs to sell, subtract her current money from her goal money.
$85 - $40 = $<<85-40=45>>45
Since each cone costs $3, divide the remaining money needed by the cost of one cone.
$45 / $3 = <<45/3=15>>15
Therefore, Dimmy needs to sell 15 cones to reach her goal.
Dimmy is selling ice cream for $3 a cone. She already has $40 and her goal is to reach $85 in all.
using arithmetic, how many cones will she need to sell to reach her goal?
