Answer 1

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

\[
\text{Number of bags} \times \text{Price per bag} = \text{Total amount}
\]

Let \( x \) be the number of bags. The equation would look like this:

\[
x \times 2.50 = 1000
\]

Now, solve for \( x \):

\[
x = \frac{1000}{2.50}
\]

Calculating that gives:

\[
x = 400
\]

So, they need to sell **400 bags** to raise $1,000.00.

The correct response is **400 bags**.
