Olivia started with [tex]$23. She decided to buy some bagels. Each bagel costs $[/tex]3, and she bought five bagels. Let's break down the problem step by step:
1. Initial Amount of Money:
Olivia has an initial amount of [tex]$23.
2. Cost of One Bagel:
Each bagel costs $[/tex]3.
3. Number of Bagels Bought:
Olivia bought five bagels.
4. Total Cost of Bagels:
To find out how much Olivia spent on the bagels, we multiply the cost of one bagel by the number of bagels she bought:
[tex]\[
\text{Total cost of bagels} = 5 \, \text{bagels} \times 3 \, \text{dollars/bagel} = 15 \, \text{dollars}
\][/tex]
5. Remaining Amount of Money:
To determine how much money Olivia has left after buying the bagels, we subtract the total cost of the bagels from her initial amount:
[tex]\[
\text{Money left} = 23 \, \text{dollars} - 15 \, \text{dollars} = 8 \, \text{dollars}
\][/tex]
Therefore, after purchasing five bagels, Olivia has \$8 left.
