Let's correct the context and provide a proper math-related question which aligns with the previously given Python code solution.
The context seems to be confusing. Let's look at an appropriate math-related example similar to the one inferred from the Python code.
Question:
If you start with an initial balance of [tex]$23 and you purchase 5 bagels, each costing $[/tex]3, what is the total cost and how much money will you have left?
Step-by-step Solution:
1. Identify initial balance and cost per bagel:
- Initial balance = $23
- Cost per bagel = $3
2. Determine the number of bagels bought:
- Number of bagels bought = 5
3. Calculate the total cost for the bagels:
[tex]\[
\text{Total cost} = \text{Number of bagels} \times \text{Cost per bagel}
\][/tex]
Substituting the values:
[tex]\[
\text{Total cost} = 5 \times 3 = 15
\][/tex]
4. Calculate the remaining balance after the purchase:
[tex]\[
\text{Remaining balance} = \text{Initial balance} - \text{Total cost}
\][/tex]
Substituting the values:
[tex]\[
\text{Remaining balance} = 23 - 15 = 8
\][/tex]
Thus, the total cost for the bagels is [tex]$15, and the remaining balance after the purchase will be $[/tex]8.
