Question

The fair committee bought 325 balloons. It will use 169 of the balloons for decoration and will sell the rest at the fair. The committee hired 13 clowns to sell the balloons. Each clown has the same number of balloons to sell.

How many balloons does each clown have to sell?


Help.

Answer 1

The best best and I mean best is 12!:-):-):-):-)

Answer 2

Okay, so 325 balloons total, we subtract 169 and get 156 to divide between the clowns. There are 13 clowns and they each get an even number of balloons. So we take 156 and divide it by 13 to get 12. Each clown received 12 balloons to sell.
