Answer:

He can purchase 300 white baloons.

Explanation:

150$ is 15000 cents

15000 = 60b + 30w

b being number of blue baloons,w number of white baloons and 60 and 30 prices in cents

15000 = 60*100 + 30w

15000 - 60*100 = 30w

15000- 6000 = 30w

30w = 9000

w =300

number of white baloons is 300
