Let's break down the problem into manageable steps, making it easier to understand the logical flow:
1. Initial Conditions:
- You have [tex]$23 initially.
2. Purchases:
- You intend to buy 5 bagels.
- Each bagel costs $[/tex]3.
3. Calculating Total Expenditure:
- To determine the total money spent on the bagels, you need to multiply the cost of one bagel by the number of bagels bought.
- [tex]\( \text{money spent} = \text{number of bagels} \times \text{cost per bagel} \)[/tex]
- Given: number of bagels = 5, cost per bagel = [tex]$3.
- Therefore, \( \text{money spent} = 5 \times 3 = \$[/tex]15 \).
4. Calculating Remaining Money:
- To find out how much money you have left, subtract the amount spent from your initial amount.
- [tex]\( \text{money left} = \text{initial money} - \text{money spent} \)[/tex]
- Given: initial money = [tex]$23, money spent = $[/tex]15.
- Therefore, [tex]\( \text{money left} = 23 - 15 = \$8 \)[/tex].
Thus, the total money spent on bagels is [tex]$15, and the remaining money is $[/tex]8.
