To model the problem, we start by understanding that Julia split the total number of treats \( t \) into 5 bags, where each bag contains 55 treats. This can be represented by the equation:

\[
\frac{t}{5} = 55
\]

To eliminate the fraction, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 5:

\[
t = 55 \times 5
\]

Now, we can solve for \( t \):

\[
t = 275
\]

Thus, there were **275 treats** in the box.
