First, let's find the total number of snack bags of chips in 7 packs. Since each pack contains 8 snack bags, we calculate the total number of snack bags:
\[
\text{Total snack bags} = 7 \times 8 = 56
\]
Next, we find the total cost of the 7 packs, which is given as $15.12. To find the cost of a single snack bag, we divide the total cost by the total number of snack bags:
\[
\text{Cost per snack bag} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total snack bags}} = \frac{15.12}{56}
\]
Now, we perform the division:
\[
\frac{15.12}{56} = 0.27
\]
Therefore, the cost of a single snack bag of chips is:
\[
\boxed{0.27}
\]
\[
\text{Total snack bags} = 7 \times 8 = 56
\]
Next, we find the total cost of the 7 packs, which is given as $15.12. To find the cost of a single snack bag, we divide the total cost by the total number of snack bags:
\[
\text{Cost per snack bag} = \frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total snack bags}} = \frac{15.12}{56}
\]
Now, we perform the division:
\[
\frac{15.12}{56} = 0.27
\]
Therefore, the cost of a single snack bag of chips is:
\[
\boxed{0.27}
