Shandra bought 24 chicken wings for $50.40. If Shandra spent $10.50, how many chicken wings did she buy?

Answer 1

To find out how many chicken wings Shandra bought for $10.50, we need to determine the price per chicken wing from the original purchase of 24 wings for $50.40.

To calculate the price per wing:

Price per wing = Total cost / Number of wings
Price per wing = $50.40 / 24 wings
Price per wing = $2.10 per wing

Now that we know the price per wing, we can calculate how many wings Shandra bought for $10.50:

Number of wings = Amount spent / Price per wing
Number of wings = $10.50 / $2.10 per wing
Number of wings = 5 wings

So, Shandra bought 5 chicken wings for $10.50.
