Sure, let's break down the question step-by-step to find the amount of money spent on buying bagels and how much money is left.
1. Initial Amount of Money:
You start with $23.
2. Number of Bagels Bought:
You bought 5 bagels.
3. Cost of Each Bagel:
Each bagel costs $3.
4. Calculate the Total Cost of Bagels:
To find out the amount of money spent on bagels, multiply the number of bagels by the cost of each bagel:
[tex]\[
\text{money spent} = \text{number of bagels} \times \text{cost per bagel}
\][/tex]
So,
[tex]\[
\text{money spent} = 5 \times 3 = 15
\][/tex]
You spent $15 on bagels.
5. Calculate the Remaining Money:
To find out how much money you have left after buying the bagels, subtract the money spent from the initial amount of money:
[tex]\[
\text{money left} = \text{initial amount} - \text{money spent}
\][/tex]
Thus,
[tex]\[
\text{money left} = 23 - 15 = 8
\][/tex]
You have $8 left.
Therefore, the amount of money spent on the bagels is [tex]$15, and the amount of money left after the purchase is $[/tex]8.
