Damari is selling popcorn for $3 a bag. He already has $40, and his goal is to earn $85 total. Use arithmetic to determ how many bags he needs to sell to make his goal.
Let's represent the number of bags Damari needs to sell as 'x'.
Since each bag is sold for $3, the total amount Damari earns from selling x bags is 3x.
We are given that Damari already has $40, so the total amount he needs to earn is $85.
Therefore, we can set up the equation:
40 + 3x = 85
To solve for x, we can subtract 40 from both sides of the equation:
3x = 85 - 40
3x = 45
Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to solve for x:
x = 45/3
x = <<15=15>>15
Damari needs to sell 15 bags in order to make his goal.
To determine how many bags Damari needs to sell, we can use arithmetic.
Let's first calculate the total amount of money Damari needs to earn to reach his goal of $85:
Total amount needed = Goal - Amount already earned
Total amount needed = $85 - $40
Total amount needed = $45
Next, we can calculate the number of bags Damari needs to sell to earn the total amount needed:
Number of bags needed = Total amount needed / Price per bag
Number of bags needed = $45 / $3
Number of bags needed = 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 to reach his goal, we can use arithmetic.
Let's start by finding out how much more money Damari needs to earn. His goal is to earn a total of $85, and he already has $40, so he needs to earn an additional $85 - $40 = $45.
Next, we need to determine how many bags of popcorn Damari needs to sell to earn $45.
Since each bag of popcorn costs $3, we can divide the total amount Damari needs to earn ($45) by the price of one bag ($3):
$45 รท $3 = 15
So, Damari needs to sell 15 bags of popcorn to reach his goal of earning $85.
