Answer:

$123.20

Explanation:

Hey there!

To find the price for 308 bags of chips FOR 308 people, we need to first know what the price for 1 bag is

It says that it is 2 dollars for 5 bags

Now, we need to divide 2 by 5 to see how much money 1 bag is

2/5 is 0.4 and in this case 0.40 since we're dealing with money

Now that we know this, all we need to do is multiply 0.40 by 308 because we are buying for 308 people

0.40 x 308 is 123.2

This means that for 308 people, it would cost $123.20 to supply them all with a bag of chips!
