Absolutely, let's break down this problem step-by-step in a clear, understandable way:
You start with a certain amount of money and buy a set number of bagels, each at a specific cost. We need to find out how much money you will spend and how much money you will have left after the purchase.
### Step-by-Step Solution
1. Identify Initial Variables:
- Initial amount of money: [tex]$23
- Number of bagels to buy: 5
- Cost of each bagel: $[/tex]3
2. Calculate the Total Cost of Bagels:
- To find out the total cost of the bagels, multiply the number of bagels by the cost per bagel.
- [tex]\( \text{Total cost of bagels} = \text{Number of bagels} \times \text{Cost per bagel} \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( \text{Total cost of bagels} = 5 \times 3 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( \text{Total cost of bagels} = 15 \)[/tex]
3. Calculate Remaining Money:
- Subtract the total cost of the bagels from the initial amount of money to find out how much money is left.
- [tex]\( \text{Money left} = \text{Initial money} - \text{Total cost of bagels} \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( \text{Money left} = 23 - 15 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( \text{Money left} = 8 \)[/tex]
### Summary
- You will spend [tex]$15 on the bagels.
- After purchasing the bagels, you will have $[/tex]8 left.
These calculated values (15 and 8) are the answer to the problem. You now know both the amount of money spent and the amount of money remaining after your bagel purchase.
