Sure, let's break down the problem step-by-step:
1. Identify the initial conditions and the problem constraints:
- You start with an initial amount of money: [tex]$23.
- You want to buy a certain number of bagels: 5.
- Each bagel costs: $[/tex]3.
2. Calculate the total cost of the bagels:
- To find out how much money you will spend on the bagels, multiply the number of bagels by the cost per bagel.
[tex]\[
\text{Total cost} = \text{Number of bagels} \times \text{Cost per bagel}
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\text{Total cost} = 5 \times 3
\][/tex]
So, the total cost for the bagels is [tex]$15.
3. Determine how much money is left after buying the bagels:
- To find out how much money you have left, subtract the total cost of the bagels from your initial amount of money.
\[
\text{Money left} = \text{Initial money} - \text{Total cost}
\]
\[
\text{Money left} = 23 - 15
\]
Therefore, the amount of money left is $[/tex]8.
4. Summarize the results:
- You spent a total of [tex]$15 on bagels.
- After buying the bagels, you have $[/tex]8 left.
In conclusion, you started with [tex]$23, spent $[/tex]15 on 5 bagels, and now have $8 remaining.
