Question

- In a balloon arrangement, there are 2 green balloons for every 3 purple

balloons. If there are 4 balloon arrangements, and each contains 10
balloons, how many total purple balloons are there?

Answer 1

Let's represent the number of purple balloons as P. We know that there are 2 green balloons for every 3 purple balloons, which can be represented as:

G = 2P/3

We also know that there are 10 balloons in total for each arrangement. Combining these two pieces of information, we get:

10 = P + 2P/3

Solving for P, we get:

10 = P + 2P/3

3P = 90

P = 30

So, there are 30 purple balloons in the balloon arrangement.
