Question

Patrica buys a total of 5 party hats and 5 balloons for the children at a party. Each party hat costs $0.50. Patrica spends a total of $7.50 for the party hats and the balloons. Enter an equation that models the situation with b, the cost of 1 balloon.

Answer 1

b=2.5-7.50

Step-by-step explanation: so 5 party hats cost 50 cents, so times that by 5 to get 2.50, and then use the 7.50 and minus it.
