Certainly! Let's solve this step-by-step.

### Problem Breakdown:
Olivia has an initial amount of [tex]$23.
She decides to buy some bagels, and she buys a total of 5 bagels.
Each bagel costs $[/tex]3.
We are asked two things:
1. How much total money did Olivia spend on the bagels?
2. How much money does Olivia have left after her purchase?
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Determine the Total Cost of the Bagels
Olivia bought 5 bagels, and each bagel costs [tex]$3.
- To find the total cost, multiply the number of bagels by the cost per bagel:
\[
\text{Total cost of bagels} = \text{Number of bagels} \times \text{Cost per bagel} = 5 \times 3
\]
- Therefore:
\[
\text{Total cost of bagels} = 15
\]
So, Olivia has spent $[/tex]15 on the bagels.
2. Calculate the Remaining Money
Initially, Olivia had [tex]$23.
- To find out how much money she has left after buying the bagels, subtract the total cost of the bagels from her initial amount of money:
\[
\text{Remaining money} = \text{Initial amount} - \text{Total cost of bagels} = 23 - 15
\]
- Therefore:
\[
\text{Remaining money} = 8
\]
### Conclusion:
Olivia spent $[/tex]15 on the bagels. After making this purchase, she has [tex]$8 left.
The result of our step-by-step solution tells us the same thing:
1. Total money spent on bagels: $[/tex]15
2. Money left with Olivia: $8
