d. 10 chip bags

Answer 1

c. 6 chip bags

Explanation:

Let's start by subtracting the cost of the soda from the total amount Mrs. Christian spent:

$17.00 - $2.00 = $15.00

This means that the chips cost $15.00 in total. We can use this information to find out how many bags of chips Mrs. Christian bought:

$15.00 ÷ $2.50 = 6 bags of chips

Therefore, Mrs. Christian bought 6 bags of chips.
