Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of bags = Total money spent / Cost of each bag

x = number of bags of chips

Simply divide 17.50 by 1.25 to work out how many bags of chips he can purchase.

Number of bags = Total money spent / Cost of each bag

[tex]x = \frac{17.50}{1.25}[/tex] = ?

She purchased 14 bags of chips.

x=number of bags of chips
$1.25x = $17.50
x=17.50/1.25
x = 14
