    2 bag of chips

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Total Money Kumar had = $10.00

    Money spent on buying candy bar = $1.75

    Money left with Kumar after buying candybar can be obtained by subtracting

    Money spent on buying candybar from Total Money Kumar had.

    Money left with Kumar after buying candybar = $10.00 - $1.75 = $8.25.

    It is given that rest of money ($8.25 as calculated) is spent on buying bag of chips.

    cost of one bag of chips = $2.99

    Let no of bag of chips kumar can buy be x.

    Therefore total money spent on buying x bag of chips is $2.99 time no. of bag of chips bought

    Mathematically it can be expressed as

    Total money spent on buying x bag of chips = $2.99 * x = $2.99 x

    It is given that he can spent only $8.25 to buy bag of chips.

    which means

    $2.99 x = $8.25

    => x = 8.25/2.99 = 2.75

    Thus he can buy 2.75 bag of chips.

    But bag of chips can be only integral number as bag cannot be in fraction.

    hence 2 bag of chips can bought which will cost 2*2.99=$ 5.98

    Rest of the money will be left which will be 8.25 - 5.98 = $2.27
