How many blown-up balloons were left? Explain your answer.


blown-up balloons were left.


First, I found the number of heart-shaped balloons, 3 ×

=

. Next, I added that number to the number of round balloons and long balloons,

+ 120 + 108 =

balloons in all. Last, I subtracted the number of burst balloons, so

− 23 =

balloons left./

Answer 1

247 blown up balloon left

Explanation:

5 bags of round balloon with 24 balloon in each bag =

= 5 x 24 = 120 round balloons

3 bags of long balloon with 36 balloon in each bag =

= 3 x 36 = 108 long balloons

Part 1 Answer

120 round balloons - 108 long balloon = 12 balloons

therefore the clown bought 12 more round balloon than long balloon

Part 2

3 bags of heart-shaped balloons with 14 balloons in each bag =

= 3 x 14= 42 heart-shaped balloons

All the balloons were blown which equals

120 round balloons + 108 long balloons + 42 heart-shaped balloons =

= 270 balloons

23 balloons out of the 270 balloons burst which equals

270 blown balloon - 23 burst balloon = 247 blown-up balloons left

so,

247 blown-up balloons were left
