Answer: 25 bags of chips and 25 soda

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount I have with me is $100.

Since bags of chips cost $3 each and Soda costs $1 each. Both will cost total of $4 each.

In order to know the amount I can buy with $100 that is with me, I will have to divide $100 by $4 which gives $25.

This shows I can get 25 bags of soda @$25 at the rate of $1 each and have a balance of $75 which is enough to buy 25bags of chips @$3 each.
