Let's solve the following problem step-by-step.
Problem:
We start with a certain amount of money, purchase a certain number of bagels at a fixed cost each, and then determine how much money is left after the purchase.
Given:
1. Initial amount of money: [tex]$23
2. Number of bagels purchased: $[/tex]5
3. Cost per bagel: [tex]$3
### Step-by-Step Solution
1. Identify the total initial amount of money:
- We start with $[/tex]23.
2. Determine the number of bagels purchased:
- We are buying [tex]$5$[/tex] bagels.
3. Identify the cost per bagel:
- Each bagel costs [tex]$3$[/tex].
4. Calculate the total amount of money spent on bagels:
- Multiply the number of bagels by the cost per bagel.
[tex]\[
\text{Total money spent} = \text{Number of bagels} \times \text{Cost per bagel}
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\text{Total money spent} = 5 \times 3 = 15
\][/tex]
5. Calculate the amount of money left after the purchase:
- Subtract the total money spent from the initial amount of money.
[tex]\[
\text{Money left} = \text{Initial amount of money} - \text{Total money spent}
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\text{Money left} = 23 - 15 = 8
\][/tex]
### Conclusion
- The total amount of money spent on bagels is [tex]$15.
- The amount of money left after buying the bagels is $[/tex]8.
So, after purchasing 5 bagels at [tex]$3 each, you will have spent $[/tex]15 and will be left with $8.
