Answer 1

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

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

Plugging in the values:

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

Calculating that gives:

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

So, they would need to sell 400 bags of chips to raise $1,000.00.

The correct response is: 400 bags.
