To find out how many 45-ounce bags Allen's Snacks can fill with 135,000,000 ounces of corn chips, we need to divide the total amount of corn chips by the size of each bag.

Here’s the calculation:

\[
\text{Number of bags} = \frac{\text{Total ounces of corn chips}}{\text{Ounces per bag}}
\]

Substituting the values:

\[
\text{Number of bags} = \frac{135,000,000}{45}
\]

Now, perform the division:

\[
\text{Number of bags} = 3,000,000
\]

So, the company will be able to fill **3,000,000 bags** next year.
