To find the total number of cups \( c \) that Norma must sell to buy the snowboard, we can start by setting up an equation based on the information provided.
From the problem, we know:
- Norma has already sold 48 cups of hot chocolate.
- She needs to sell 52 more cups.
Thus, the equation can be set up as:
\[
c = 48 + 52
\]
Now, let's solve for \( c \):
\[
c = 100
\]
Therefore, the total number of cups Norma must sell to buy the snowboard is \( \boxed{100} \).
