a school football team is selling chips to fundraise for new jerseys. if they charge $2.50 per bag of chips, how many bags will they need to sell to raise $1,000.00?

To determine how many bags of chips the school football team needs to sell to raise $1,000.00, you can use the following steps:

1. **Determine the selling price per bag.**
The team charges $2.50 per bag.

2. **Determine the total amount they want to raise.**
They want to raise $1,000.00.

3. **Calculate the number of bags needed to sell.**
To find this, divide the total amount to raise by the price per bag:
\[
\text{Number of bags} = \frac{\text{Total amount to raise}}{\text{Price per bag}} = \frac{1000}{2.50}
\]

4. **Perform the calculation:**
\[
\frac{1000}{2.50} = 400
\]

So, the school football team will need to sell **400 bags** of chips to raise $1,000.00.
