Answer:

2 ; $9.94

Explanation:

Given that:

Balloons chosen : 6 and 50

Greatest possible number of bouquet that can be made using all balloons

To find this ; obtain the greatest common factor of 6 and 50

Factors of 6 : 1, 2, 3, 6

Factors of 50 : 1, 2, 5, 10, 25, 50

.the greatest factor common in both is 2.

Greatest possible number of bouquet using all balloons = 2

If each bouquet sells for $4.97

Earning = 2 * $4.97

Earning = $9.94
