The dance committee has a budget of $125 to decorate the gym for the spring dance. They have already spent $65. Some members want to buy helium balloons that cost $0.80 each. Write and solve an inequality to show the number of balloons that the dance committee could buy

First, we subtract the price already spent:
125 - 65 = 60
Now to find the amount of balloons:
0.8n = 60
Divide:
n = 75
The dance committee can buy 75 balloons
