Lamonte bought 4 chicken wings for $4.40. If Lamonte spent $11.00, how many chicken wings did he buy?
To find out how many chicken wings Lamonte bought, we need to set up a proportion:
4 wings cost $4.40
1 wing cost $4.40 / 4 = $1.10
Let x be the number of chicken wings Lamonte bought.
Total cost = $1.10x
$11.00 = $1.10x
Divide both sides by $1.10:
$11.00 / $1.10 = $1.10x / $1.10
10 = x
Therefore, Lamonte bought 10 chicken wings.
