Answer : Hershel buys 2 bags of fruit snacks.

Explanation :

Since we have given that

Number of bags of granola =3

Number of bags of cookies = 5

Total number of bags he buys from the bake sale =10


\text{Remaining bags are of fruit snacks} =10-(5+3)=10-8=2

So, number of bags of fruit snacks = 2

Hence, Hershel buys 2 bags of fruit snacks .

It is a comparison type of word problem.

As we just compare the items with the total items to get the remaining items.
