To determine how many bags Damari needs to sell, subtract the amount of money he already has from his goal: $85 - $40 = $<<85-40=45>>45.
Then, divide the remaining amount by the price per bag: $45 / $3 = <<45/3=15>>15 bags.
Damari needs to sell 15 bags of popcorn to reach his goal. Therefore, the correct answer is 15.
To determine the number of bags Damari needs to sell to make his goal, subtract the amount he already has from his target goal of $85.
$85 - $40 = $45
Next, divide the remaining amount he needs to earn by the price of each bag of popcorn.
$45 / $3 = 15
Therefore, Damari needs to sell 15 bags of popcorn to make his goal.
To determine how many bags Damari needs to sell, we need to find the difference between his goal and the money he already has. Since Damari already has $40 and his goal is to earn a total of $85, we can subtract $40 from $85 to find the remaining amount he needs to earn.
$85 - $40 = $45
Now, we need to figure out how many bags of popcorn Damari needs to sell to earn $45. Since each bag of popcorn costs $3, we can divide the amount Damari needs to earn ($45) by the price of each bag ($3).
$45 / $3 = 15
Therefore, Damari needs to sell 15 bags of popcorn to reach his goal of earning $85 total.
The correct answer is 15.
