There were 235 more red balloons than green balloons at a party. After 4/5 of the red balloons and 3/4 of the green balloons burst, there were 92 balloons left. How many balloons were there altogether?

So we know that the difference is 235.

And a red and green put together is 92 balloons * 5.
So 5 red and green balloons put together is 460, or 92*5.

460-235=225

225/9=25

92-25=67

So 5*67 and 4*25 is 435.


Your final answer should be 435 balloons in total.
