Answer: m/3 cents

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to divide the total cost of the chips (m) by the number of bags of chips (3).

Mathematically speaking:

Cost of one bag chip: m/3 cents

Since the total cost is represented by a variable, the individual cost is an expression.

If we replace the value of m by a number we will obtain the result as a number.

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
