To figure out how many more chocolate bars Dennis needs to sell in order to win a prize, we first need to determine how much more money he needs to make beyond the $175 threshold.
1. Calculate how much more money he needs:
\[
175 - 40 = 135
\]
Dennis needs to sell an additional $135 worth of chocolate bars.
2. Each chocolate bar sells for $2.50. To find out how many more bars he needs to sell, we divide the amount he needs by the price of each bar:
\[
\frac{135}{2.50} = 54
\]
So, Dennis needs to sell **54 more chocolate bars** to win the prize.
