Answer 2

The sports club needs to sell 200 chocolate bars to reach $500.

Explanation:

The sport club needs $500. We know that each chocolate bar costs $2.50. So, we just have to express this situations and solve.

`\$500=\$2.50c`

Where
`c` is the amount of chocolate bars.

Solving this equation, we have:

`\$500=\$2.50c\\(\$500)/(\$2.50)=c\\c=200`

Therefore, the sports club needs to sell 200 chocolate bars to reach $500.
