Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find out how many cones Dimmy needs to sell, subtract her current money from her goal money.

$85 - $40 = $<<85-40=45>>45

Since each cone costs $3, divide the remaining money needed by the cost of one cone.

$45 / $3 = <<45/3=15>>15

Therefore, Dimmy needs to sell 15 cones to reach her goal.
