Question

Zoey inflated 24 balloons for the high school dance. If Zoey inflated 15% of the total number of balloons at the dance, how many balloons are there total?

Answer 1

Total number of balloons= 160

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Number of balloons inflated by Zoey= 24

Proportion of balloons inflated= 15%

To calculate the total number of balloons, we need to use the following formula:

Total number of balloons = Number of balloons inflated by Zoey / Proportion of ballons inflated

Total number of balloons= 24 / 0.15

Total number of balloons= 160
