Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To determine how many bags Damari needs to sell, we need to calculate the difference between his goal and his current amount of money.

Goal amount = $85
Current amount = $40

Difference = Goal amount - Current amount = $85 - $40 = $45

Since each bag of popcorn costs $3, we can calculate the number of bags Damari needs to sell by dividing the difference by the cost per bag:

Number of bags = Difference / Cost per bag = $45 / $3 = 15 bags

Therefore, Damari needs to sell 15 bags of popcorn to reach his goal.

Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

To determine how many bags Damari needs to sell to make his goal, we can use arithmetic.

First, let's calculate how much more money Damari needs to earn to reach his goal. We can subtract the amount of money he already has from his total goal:

$85 - $40 = $45

Next, we need to calculate how many bags Damari needs to sell to earn the remaining $45. Since each bag of popcorn is sold for $3, we can divide the remaining amount by the price per bag:

$45 ÷ $3 = 15

Therefore, Damari needs to sell 15 bags of popcorn to reach his goal of earning $85.

Answer 3

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To determine how many bags Damari needs to sell to reach his goal of earning $85, we can use arithmetic.

First, we need to find out the remaining amount of money Damari needs to earn. We can do this by subtracting the amount of money he already has from his goal.

Goal - Money Already Earned = Remaining Amount Needed

$85 - $40 = $45

Since each bag of popcorn is being sold for $3, we can divide the remaining amount needed by the price per bag to find the number of bags Damari needs to sell.

Remaining Amount Needed ÷ Price Per Bag = Number of Bags to Sell

$45 ÷ $3 = 15

Therefore, Damari needs to sell 15 bags of popcorn to reach his goal of earning $85.
