Question

There are 51 children at a party. A clown brings some balloons to the party. He bursts 15 balloons while trying to inflate them. How many balloons does he bring if each child receives 3 balloons?

Answer 1

51 x 3 + 15 = 168

So the clown brought 168 baloons.

Answer 2

Hey You!

51 × 3 = 153

153 - 15 = 138

153 / 51 = 3 --- That means it's correct!

The clown brings 153 balloons, and 15 pop when the clown is trying to inflate them.
