It appears there might be some confusion in your question as it doesn't seem fully related to a specific math problem. However, I'll attempt to interpret and create a meaningful problem based on what we have:
### Problem:
You initially have [tex]$23. You decide to buy 5 bagels, each costing $[/tex]3. How much money do you spend on the bagels, and how much money do you have left after the purchase?
### Detailed, Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Identify the initial amount of money:
- You start with [tex]$23.
2. Identify the number of bagels and their cost:
- You are buying 5 bagels.
- Each bagel costs $[/tex]3.
3. Calculate the total cost of buying the bagels:
- To find the total cost, multiply the number of bagels by the cost per bagel:
[tex]\[
\text{Total cost} = \text{Number of bagels} \times \text{Cost per bagel}
\][/tex]
Substituting in the given numbers:
[tex]\[
\text{Total cost} = 5 \times 3 = 15
\][/tex]
- Therefore, you spend [tex]$15 on the bagels.
4. Calculate how much money is left after buying the bagels:
- Subtract the total cost of the bagels from the initial amount of money:
\[
\text{Money left} = \text{Initial amount} - \text{Total cost}
\]
Substituting in the values:
\[
\text{Money left} = 23 - 15 = 8
\]
### Conclusion:
- The total amount of money spent on the bagels is $[/tex]15.
- The amount of money left after purchasing the bagels is [tex]$8.
So, after buying 5 bagels for $[/tex]3 each, you will have spent [tex]$15 and will be left with $[/tex]8.
