To determine how many bags of chips the school soccer team needs to sell to raise $1,000.00 at $2.50 per bag, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Number of bags} = \frac{\text{Total Funds Needed}}{\text{Price per Bag}} \]
Substituting the values:
\[ \text{Number of bags} = \frac{1000.00}{2.50} = 400 \]
So, the soccer team would need to sell 400 bags to raise $1,000.00.
