Let's look at the problem and break down the solution:
Olivia initially starts with an amount of money and spends some of it on buying bagels. To find out how much money she has left, we will follow these steps:
1. Identify the initial amount of money Olivia has:
Olivia starts with 23 units of money.
2. Determine the number of bagels Olivia bought:
Olivia purchased 5 bagels.
3. Find out the cost of each bagel:
Each bagel costs 3 units of money.
4. Calculate the total amount of money spent on bagels:
To find out how much Olivia spent on the bagels, we multiply the number of bagels by the cost of each bagel.
[tex]\[
\text{Total money spent on bagels} = \text{number of bagels} \times \text{cost per bagel}
\][/tex]
Substituting the given values:
[tex]\[
\text{Total money spent on bagels} = 5 \times 3 = 15
\][/tex]
So, Olivia spent 15 units of money on bagels.
5. Calculate the amount of money Olivia has left:
To find out how much money Olivia has left, we subtract the money spent on the bagels from her initial amount of money.
[tex]\[
\text{Money left} = \text{initial amount of money} - \text{money spent on bagels}
\][/tex]
Substituting the given values:
[tex]\[
\text{Money left} = 23 - 15 = 8
\][/tex]
So, after buying the bagels, Olivia has 8 units of money left.
Therefore, Olivia spent 15 units of money on bagels, and she has 8 units of money left.
