Sure, let's go through this step-by-step to solve the question posed.
Question:
Olivia has [tex]$23. She bought five bagels for $[/tex]3 each. How much money does she have left?
Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Initial Money:
Olivia starts with [tex]$23.
2. Number of Bagels:
Olivia buys 5 bagels.
3. Cost Per Bagel:
Each bagel costs $[/tex]3.
4. Total Money Spent:
To find out how much money Olivia spent on the bagels, calculate the total cost of the 5 bagels. This can be done by multiplying the number of bagels by the cost per bagel:
[tex]\[
\text{Total money spent} = \text{Number of bagels} \times \text{Cost per bagel}
\][/tex]
Substituting the given values:
[tex]\[
\text{Total money spent} = 5 \times 3 = 15
\][/tex]
Therefore, Olivia spent [tex]$15 on bagels.
5. Money Left:
To find out how much money Olivia has left after buying the bagels, subtract the total money spent from her initial amount:
\[
\text{Money left} = \text{Initial money} - \text{Total money spent}
\]
Substituting the given values:
\[
\text{Money left} = 23 - 15 = 8
\]
Therefore, Olivia has $[/tex]8 left.
Final Answer:
Olivia spent [tex]$15 on bagels and has $[/tex]8 left.
