Question

The school soccer team is selling chips to fundraise for new jerseys. If they charge $2.50 per bag of chips, how many bags would they need to sell in order to raise $1,000.00?(1 point) Responses 400 bags 400 bags 40 bags 40 bags 500 bags 500 bags $400.00

Answer 1

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

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

Substituting in the values:

\[
\text{Number of bags} = \frac{1000.00}{2.50} = 400
\]

Therefore, the soccer team needs to sell **400 bags** of chips.
