Answer: You can make 2 bouquets of 5 blue ballons and 9 pink ballons and make $5.96.

Explanation:

Start by dividing both by different numbers:

10/2=5. 18/2=9

No other number can go in to both so you have two bouquets with 5 blue and 9 pink balloons.

Next multiply 2 by $2.98:

$2.98(2)=$5.96

Hope this helps:)
