Sure, I'm here to help you with your math question. Let's break it down step-by-step.
Problem Statement:
A person starts with [tex]$23. They buy 5 bagels, each costing $[/tex]3. We need to find out two things:
1. How much money is spent on the bagels in total?
2. How much money is left after purchasing the bagels?
Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Calculate the total cost of the bagels.
First, understand that the person buys 5 bagels, and each bagel costs [tex]$3.
\[
\text{Total cost of bagels} = \text{Number of bagels} \times \text{Cost per bagel}
\]
Substitute the values into the equation:
\[
\text{Total cost of bagels} = 5 \times 3 = 15
\]
So, the total amount of money spent on bagels is $[/tex]15.
2. Calculate the remaining money after buying the bagels.
Next, we subtract the total amount spent on bagels from the initial amount of money the person had.
[tex]\[
\text{Remaining money} = \text{Initial amount of money} - \text{Total cost of bagels}
\][/tex]
Substitute the known values:
[tex]\[
\text{Remaining money} = 23 - 15 = 8
\][/tex]
So, the remaining amount of money after buying the bagels is [tex]$8.
Final Answer:
1. Amount of money spent on the bagels: $[/tex]15
2. Amount of money left: $8
