Answer:

20 - n balloons remained

Step-by-step explanation:

  • To find how much balloons remained after the party, we need to subtract the number of balloons popped from the total balloons.

Finding how much balloons remained:

  • We know that there were 20 balloons at the beginning of the party and n balloons popped when the party was over.

20 - n balloons remained.

expression: 20 - n

  • total balloons = 20
  • popped balloons = n

numbers of balloons left = total balloons - popped balloons

numbers of balloons left = 20 - n
