Answer:

14 packages.

Explanation:

The total number of balloons needed is 3 * 220 = 660 balloons

To find the number of packages

660 / 50 = 13 with a remainder of 10.

Normally, you would round down, but not with this question. You need to buy a whole package to get the 10 left over balloons.

The answer is 14 packages.
