To solve the given problem involving buying bagels with initial money, let's break it down step-by-step:
1. Initial Money Olivia Has:
Olivia starts with a certain amount of money, which is 23 units.
2. Number of Bagels Bought:
Olivia buys a total of 5 bagels.
3. Cost of Each Bagel:
Each bagel costs 3 units.
4. Calculating Total Money Spent on Bagels:
To find out the total money spent, we multiply the number of bagels by the cost per bagel:
[tex]\[
\text{Total Money Spent} = \text{Number of Bagels} \times \text{Cost per Bagel} = 5 \times 3 = 15
\][/tex]
So, Olivia spends 15 units on bagels.
5. Calculating Remaining Money:
To determine how much money Olivia has left after buying the bagels, we subtract the total money spent from the initial amount:
[tex]\[
\text{Money Left} = \text{Initial Money} - \text{Total Money Spent} = 23 - 15 = 8
\][/tex]
So, Olivia has 8 units of money remaining after buying the bagels.
In summary, Olivia spends 15 units on bagels and is left with 8 units of money.
