Answer 1

To determine how many bags of chips the soccer team needs to sell to raise $1,000.00 by charging $2.50 per bag, you can use the following calculation:

1. Divide the total amount they want to raise by the price per bag:

\[ \text{Number of bags} = \frac{\text{Total amount to raise}}{\text{Price per bag}} = \frac{1000}{2.50} \]

2. Performing the calculation:

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

Therefore, the soccer team needs to sell 400 bags of chips to raise $1,000.00.

The correct response is: 400 bags.
