To find out how many bags of chips the school soccer team needs to sell to raise $1,000.00 at $2.50 per bag, you can use the following calculation:

1. **Determine the total amount needed**: $1,000.00
2. **Determine the price per bag of chips**: $2.50
3. **Calculate the number of bags needed**:

\[
\text{Number of bags} = \frac{\text{Total amount needed}}{\text{Price per bag}} = \frac{1000.00}{2.50}
\]

Calculating that gives:

\[
\text{Number of bags} = 400
\]

Thus, the school soccer team needs to sell **400 bags** of chips to raise $1,000.00.

The correct answer is **C) 400 bags**.
