Certainly! Let's tackle the given problem with a step-by-step approach:
1. Initial Amount of Money: You start with [tex]\( \$23 \)[/tex].
2. Number of Bagels: You plan to buy 5 bagels.
3. Cost per Bagel: Each bagel costs [tex]\( \$3 \)[/tex].
4. Calculate Total Cost of Bagels: Multiply the number of bagels by the cost per bagel:
[tex]\( 5 \text{ bagels} \times \$3 \text{ per bagel} = \$15 \)[/tex].
5. Calculate Remaining Money:
Subtract the total cost of the bagels from your initial amount of money:
[tex]\( \$23 - \$15 = \$8 \)[/tex].
Thus, after purchasing 5 bagels, you have spent [tex]\( \$15 \)[/tex] and you have [tex]\( \$8 \)[/tex] left.
