Question

Clayton needed balloons for his daughter's birthday party. At one store he bought 4 balloons for $7.56, and the next

Store bought 12 more for $22.68. Assuming each balloon costs the same amount, how much did Clayton purchase 1
balloon for?

Answer 1

$1.89 per balloon

Explanation:

He spent 1.89 on each balloon in the first store

7.56 divided by 4 is 1.89

He spent 1.89 on each balloon in the second store

22.68 divided by 12 is 1.89

If you combine the total spent and balloons purchased, you would still get 1.89 per balloon

30.24 divided by 16 is 1.89
