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
Damari wants to earn $85 in total, and he already has $40. The difference between his goal and what he already has is $85 - $40 = $<<85-40=45>>45.
He can earn $3 with each bag of popcorn he sells, so he needs to sell $45 / $3 = <<45/3=15>>15 bags of popcorn to make his goal. Answer: \boxed{15}.
To determine how many bags Damari needs to sell to reach his goal, we can use arithmetic.
First, let's calculate how much money Damari still needs to earn to reach his goal.
Target earnings = Total goal - Current earnings
Target earnings = $85 - $40
Target earnings = $45
Since each bag of popcorn is sold for $3, we can divide the target earnings by the price per bag to find how many bags Damari needs to sell.
Number of bags to sell = Target earnings / Price per bag
Number of bags to sell = $45 / $3
Number of bags to sell = 15
Therefore, Damari needs to sell 15 bags of popcorn to make his goal of $85.
To determine how many bags Damari needs to sell in order to make his goal of $85, we can use arithmetic.
1. First, we need to calculate the amount of money Damari needs to earn by subtracting his current amount from his goal:
Goal - Current amount = $85 - $40 = $45
2. Since each bag of popcorn sells for $3, we can divide the money needed by the price per bag to find the number of bags Damari needs to sell:
Money needed / Price per bag = $45 / $3 = 15 bags
Therefore, Damari needs to sell 15 bags of popcorn to reach his goal of $85.
