Question

Alan bought a drink and 8 chicken wings for a total of $3.65 if the drink cost him $1.25 what was the cost for each individual chicken wing

Answer 1

First, subtract the drink price from the total price.

$3.65-$1.25=$2.40

$2.40 is the price of the 8 wings

Second, take the wing price ($2.40) and divide that by 8.

That gives you the price of each wing = $0.30 each.
