Julie's entertainment budget for the next six months is $150 per month. She enjoys watching the latest movies and loves the ballet. A movie ticket costs $15 while a ballet ticket costs $35. This month Julie already attended one ballet show and three movies. If Julie decides she would rather see ballet shows for the remainder of this month, how many ballet shows can she attend and stay within her budget?
