Question

The Hanson family brought hot wings to the party. They ordered a platter of wings from thw grocery store fir 46.80 if they paid 52 cents a wing, how many wings did they bring to the party

Answer 1

The Hanson family brought a total of 90 wings to the party.

Explanation:

Given:

Hanson family brought hot wings for $46.80 for a party.

Cost of a wing paid by them = 52 cents

To find the total number of wings they brought to the party.

Solution:

Let the total wings brought =
`n`

If each wing costs = 52 cents = $0.52

Then,
`n` wings will cost in dollars =
`0.52n`

Total cost of wings they paid = $46.80

Thus, the equation can be given as:

`0.52n=46.80`

Dividing both sides by 0.52 to solve for
`n`.

`(0.52n)/(0.52)=(46.80)/(0.52)`

∴
`n=90`

Thus, the Hanson family brought a total of 90 wings.
