Question

Suzan bought some balloons and repacked them for sale. He threw away 76 balloons each. Each packet was sold at $86. After selling all the packet of balloon he collected $9,632 altogether. How many balloons did Suzan buy? A.1,644 B.1,464 C.1,466 D.1,646

Answer 1

188 balloons

Explanation:

First, we have to divide the amount he collected altogether by the price of each balloon that he sold to find out how many balloons he sold:

9632 / 86 = 112 balloons

She sold 112 balloons.

We know that she threw 76 balloons away, therefore, the number of balloons she bought was:

112 + 76 = 188 balloons
