Let's solve the problem step-by-step.
First, we need to establish the context, which is understanding how Olivia's finances are affected by her purchase of bagels.
1. Initial Amount of Money:
Olivia starts with an amount of [tex]$23.
2. Cost of Bagels:
Olivia buys 5 bagels, and each bagel costs $[/tex]3.
3. Total Money Spent:
To find the total amount spent on bagels, 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]
Therefore, Olivia spends [tex]$15 on bagels.
4. Remaining Amount of Money:
To find out how much money Olivia has left, we subtract the total amount spent from her initial amount of money.
\[
\text{Money left} = \text{Initial amount} - \text{Total money spent} = 23 - 15 = 8
\]
Therefore, Olivia has $[/tex]8 left after buying the bagels.
Thus, the total amount of money Olivia spends on bagels is [tex]$15, and the amount of money she has left is $[/tex]8.
