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 goa

Answer 1

Let's determine how much more money Damari needs to reach his goal. We subtract the amount of money he already has from his goal: $85 - $40 = $<<85-40=45>>45.

To find out how many bags Damari needs to sell, we divide the amount of money he needs to earn by the price per bag: $45 / $3/bag = <<45/3=15>>15 bags.

So, Damari needs to sell 15 bags of popcorn to reach his goal.
