Answer 1

To find out how many bags of chips the school soccer team needs to sell to raise $1,000, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Number of bags} = \frac{\text{Total amount to raise}}{\text{Price per bag}}
\]

Substituting the values:

\[
\text{Number of bags} = \frac{1000}{2.50}
\]

Calculating that gives:

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

So the team needs to sell **400 bags** to raise $1,000.00.
