Certainly! Let's work through the problem step-by-step very carefully. We will focus on each part individually to ensure every detail is clear.
The specific question suggested by the given answer appears to be how much money would be left after purchasing a certain number of items.
Let's use the numerical results to outline our steps:
### Step-by-Step Solution
1. Initial Amount of Money (Initial Budget)
- You start with a certain amount of money. In this case, let's denote this starting amount as [tex]\( \$23 \)[/tex].
2. Number of Items Purchased
- You plan to purchase a certain number of items. Let's call these items "bagels".
- The number of bagels being purchased is [tex]\( 5 \)[/tex].
3. Cost per Item
- Each bagel costs [tex]\( \$3 \)[/tex].
4. Calculate Total Cost
- To determine how much money is spent on the bagels, you multiply the number of bagels by the cost per bagel:
- Total spent = Number of bagels [tex]\(\times\)[/tex] Cost per bagel
- Total spent = [tex]\( 5 \times 3 \)[/tex]
- Total spent = [tex]\( \$15 \)[/tex]
5. Money Left
- Subtract the total amount spent from the initial amount of money to find out how much money is left:
- Money left = Initial amount - Total spent
- Money left = [tex]\( \$23 - \$15 \)[/tex]
- Money left = [tex]\( \$8 \)[/tex]
### Summary
- Total Money Spent on Bagels: [tex]\( \$15 \)[/tex]
- Money Left After Purchase: [tex]\( \$8 \)[/tex]
Thus, the total amount of money spent on the bagels is [tex]$15, and the remaining money is $[/tex]8.
