Respuesta :

Answer:

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

Step-by-step 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 = [tex]n[/tex]

If each wing costs = 52 cents = $0.52

Then, [tex]n[/tex] wings will cost in dollars = [tex]0.52n[/tex]

Total cost of wings they paid = $46.80

Thus, the equation can be given as:

[tex]0.52n=46.80[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 0.52 to solve for [tex]n[/tex].

[tex]\frac{0.52n}{0.52}=\frac{46.80}{0.52}[/tex]

∴ [tex]n=90[/tex]

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