The total amount of the purchase was ...

... $2.50 + 3c = $5.05

This equation can be solved by subtracting 2.50 and dividing by 3. Both these operations are done to both sides of the equation in accordance with the rules of equality.

... 3c = $2.55

... c = $0.85

The cost of a bag of chips was $0.85.
