Let's solve the given problem step by step:
1. Initial Money: You start with an initial amount of money. In this case, you have [tex]$23.
2. Number of Bagels: You buy a certain number of bagels. In this case, you buy 5 bagels.
3. Cost per Bagel: Each bagel costs a certain amount. In this case, each bagel costs $[/tex]3.
4. Total Money Spent on Bagels: To find out how much money you spent in total on the bagels, you multiply the number of bagels by the cost per bagel. So, you calculate:
[tex]\[
5 \text{ bagels} \times 3 \text{ dollars per bagel} = 15 \text{ dollars}
\][/tex]
Therefore, you spend [tex]$15 on the bagels.
5. Money Left: To determine how much money you have left after buying the bagels, you subtract the total amount spent on the bagels from your initial amount of money. So, you calculate:
\[
23 \text{ dollars initial money} - 15 \text{ dollars spent on bagels} = 8 \text{ dollars left}
\]
Therefore, you have $[/tex]8 left after buying the bagels.
In summary:
- You spent [tex]$15 on the bagels.
- You have $[/tex]8 left after the purchase.
