Given the following question:

We have 60 balloons in total

4/12 of the balloons are black

3/12 of the balloons are white

We are trying to find the amount of red balloons Carter has:

Let...

B = black

W = white

R = red


\begin{gathered} B=((4)/(12))*60=20 \\ B=20 \\ W=((3)/(12))*60=15 \\ 20+15=35 \\ 60-35=25 \\ R=25 \end{gathered}

Carter has 25 red balloons
