Question

There are 51 children at a party. A clown brings some balloons to the party. He bursts 15 balloons while trying to inflate them. How many balloons does he bring if each child receives 3 balloons?

Answer 1

51 * 3 = 153 + 15 = 168

Answer 2

If 51 kids got 3 balloons each that means that the clown brought 153 plus the 15 he popped, which was 15. The answer is 168.
