Sure, let's explore the given question by breaking it down step-by-step:
Given that your initial amount of money is [tex]$23.00, you want to purchase several bagels and identify how much you spend on them and how much money you have left over. Here is the process broken down:
1. List the initial conditions:
- Initial amount of money: \$[/tex]23.00
- Number of bagels to buy: 5
- Cost per bagel: \[tex]$3.00
2. Calculate the total cost of the bagels:
To do this, multiply the number of bagels by the cost per bagel:
\[
\text{Total cost of bagels} = \text{Number of bagels} \times \text{Cost per bagel}
\]
Substituting the given values:
\[
\text{Total cost of bagels} = 5 \times 3 = \$[/tex]15
\]
3. Determine how much money is left after buying the bagels:
Subtract the total cost of the bagels from the initial amount of money:
[tex]\[
\text{Money left} = \text{Initial amount of money} - \text{Total cost of bagels}
\][/tex]
Using the values we have:
[tex]\[
\text{Money left} = 23 - 15 = \$8
\][/tex]
In conclusion, after purchasing 5 bagels at \[tex]$3 each from an initial amount of \$[/tex]23, you spend a total of \[tex]$15 on the bagels, leaving you with \$[/tex]8.
- Total money spent on bagels: \[tex]$15
- Money left after purchase: \$[/tex]8
