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 use the following formula:

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

Plugging in the numbers:

\[ \text{Number of bags} = \frac{1000}{2.50} = 400 \]

So, they need to sell 400 bags.

The correct response is 400 bags.
