To determine how many bags Damari needs to sell to make his goal, we need to find the difference between his goal and the amount of money he already has.
Goal amount: $85
Current amount: $40
Difference: $85 - $40 = $<<85-40=45>>45
Since each bag of popcorn costs $3, we divide the difference by the cost per bag to find the number of bags Damari needs to sell.
Bags needed: $45 / $3 = <<45/3=15>>15
Therefore, Damari needs to sell 15 bags of popcorn to make his goal of $85.
