To find out how many bags of chips the school soccer team needs to sell to raise $1,000.00, you can use the following formula:
\[ \text{Number of bags} = \frac{\text{Total amount needed}}{\text{Price per bag}} \]
In this case:
\[ \text{Number of bags} = \frac{1000.00}{2.50} \]
Calculating this gives:
\[ \text{Number of bags} = 400 \]
Therefore, the team needs to sell 400 bags.
