To determine how many bags Damari needs to sell to make his goal, we need to calculate the difference between his goal and the amount of money he already has.
The difference is given by: $85 - $40 = $45.
Now, we need to divide the difference by the price of each bag of popcorn: $45 / $3 = 15.
Therefore, Damari needs to sell 15 bags of popcorn to make his goal.
The correct answer is: 15.
To determine how many bags Damari needs to sell to make his goal of $85, we can use the following arithmetic:
Total amount he needs to earn = Goal - Amount he already has
Total amount he needs to earn = $85 - $40
Total amount he needs to earn = $45
Since Damari sells each bag of popcorn for $3, we can calculate the number of bags he needs to sell by dividing the total amount he needs to earn by the price per bag.
Number of bags he needs to sell = Total amount he needs to earn / Price per bag
Number of bags he needs to sell = $45 / $3
Number of bags he needs 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 to make his goal of $85, we can subtract the amount of money he already has ($40) from his goal ($85).
$85 - $40 = $45
Since each bag of popcorn costs $3, we can divide the remaining amount by the price per bag to find the number of bags Damari needs to sell.
$45 รท $3 = 15
Therefore, Damari needs to sell 15 bags of popcorn to reach his goal of $85.
