Sure, I'd be happy to explain this step-by-step! Let's break down the problem:
Problem:
Olivia has [tex]$23. She bought five bagels for $[/tex]3 each. How much money does she have left?
Step 1: Understand the Initial Situation
- Olivia starts with [tex]$23.
Step 2: Calculate the Cost of Bagels
- Olivia buys 5 bagels.
- Each bagel costs $[/tex]3.
To find out how much she spends on bagels, we multiply the number of bagels by the cost of each one:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Cost of Bagels} = 5 \, \text{bagels} \times 3 \, \text{dollars/bagel} = 15 \, \text{dollars} \][/tex]
Step 3: Subtract the Total Cost from the Initial Amount
- Now, we need to subtract the amount spent on bagels ([tex]$15) from the amount Olivia initially had ($[/tex]23).
[tex]\[ \text{Money Left} = 23 \, \text{dollars} - 15 \, \text{dollars} = 8 \, \text{dollars} \][/tex]
Step 4: Summarize the Results
- Olivia spends [tex]$15 on the bagels.
- Olivia has $[/tex]8 left after buying the bagels.
So, Olivia has $8 left after buying the five bagels.
