Clarence the Clown has 50 purple and blue balloons to give out to children at the circus. 3 out of 10 balloons are purple. How many more balloons are blue?
i think 30. tbh im not entierly sure
30 is correct
45-15 = 30
To find the number of blue balloons, we need to subtract the number of purple balloons from the total number of balloons.
1. Start by finding the number of purple balloons:
- We are given that 3 out of 10 balloons are purple.
- So, we can calculate the number of purple balloons by multiplying the total number of balloons by the fraction of purple balloons:
10 balloons * (3/10) = 3 purple balloons.
2. Now, subtract the number of purple balloons from the total number of balloons:
- The total number of balloons given is 50.
- So we can calculate the number of blue balloons by subtracting the number of purple balloons from the total number of balloons:
50 total balloons - 3 purple balloons = 47 blue balloons.
Therefore, Clarence the Clown has 47 more blue balloons than purple balloons.
