Answer:

660 balloons and 14 packages

Explanation:

first let's find out how many balloons we'll need for all the rooms together.

220x3=660

Now let's see how many packs of balloons we need.

660/50=13.2, since it isn't a whole number you'll need 14 packs and some will be left over.

I hope I can help and this isn't confusing!
