Sure, let’s go through the given math problem step-by-step:
Problem: Olivia has [tex]$23. She bought five bagels for $[/tex]3 each. How much money does she have left?
Step-by-Step Solution:
1. Initial Amount of Money:
Olivia starts with [tex]$23.
2. Cost of One Bagel:
Each bagel costs $[/tex]3.
3. Number of Bagels Bought:
Olivia buys 5 bagels.
4. Total Cost of Bagels:
To find out how much Olivia spends on bagels, we need to multiply the cost of one bagel by the number of bagels she bought.
[tex]\[
\text{Total Cost of Bagels} = \text{Cost per Bagel} \times \text{Number of Bagels}
\][/tex]
Given the cost per bagel is [tex]$3 and the number of bagels is 5:
\[
\text{Total Cost of Bagels} = 3 \times 5 = 15
\]
So, Olivia spends $[/tex]15 on the bagels.
5. Amount of Money Left:
To find out how much money Olivia has left after buying the bagels, we subtract the total cost of the bagels from her initial amount of money.
[tex]\[
\text{Money Left} = \text{Initial Amount} - \text{Total Cost of Bagels}
\][/tex]
Given her initial amount is [tex]$23 and the total cost of bagels is $[/tex]15:
[tex]\[
\text{Money Left} = 23 - 15 = 8
\][/tex]
So, Olivia has [tex]$8 left.
Final Answer:
Olivia spends $[/tex]15 on the bagels and has $8 left afterwards.
