Sure, I'll be happy to explain the solution to your initial question: Olivia has [tex]$23. She bought five bagels for $[/tex]3 each. How much money does she have left?
Let's break it down step-by-step:
1. Initial Amount:
- Olivia starts with [tex]$23.
2. Cost of Each Bagel:
- Each bagel costs $[/tex]3.
3. Number of Bagels Bought:
- Olivia bought 5 bagels.
4. Total Cost of Bagels:
- To find out how much Olivia spent on the bagels, you need to multiply the number of bagels by the cost of each bagel.
- Total cost = Number of bagels [tex]\(\times\)[/tex] Cost per bagel
- Total cost = [tex]\(5 \times 3 = 15\)[/tex]
5. Money Left Over:
- To find out how much money Olivia has left, you subtract the total cost of the bagels from her initial amount.
- Money left = Initial amount - Total cost
- Money left = [tex]\(23 - 15 = 8\)[/tex]
So the detailed breakdown shows that Olivia spent [tex]$15 on the bagels, and she has $[/tex]8 left after purchasing them.
