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?
Plz help lol
3/10 * 50 = 15
7/10 * 50 = 35
luckily 15 + 35 = 50
that means there are 35-15 = 20 more blue than purple
or just say 4/10 * 50 like oobleck did :)
4/10
Thx anonymous u got it correct
Whew, had me worried :)
To find out how many of the balloons are blue, we first need to calculate how many of the balloons are purple. The information provided states that 3 out of 10 balloons are purple.
To calculate the number of purple balloons, we can use the formula:
Number of purple balloons = (percentage of purple balloons / 100) * total number of balloons
Given that 3 out of 10 balloons are purple, we can convert this into a percentage:
Percentage of purple balloons = (3 / 10) * 100 = 30%
Now we can calculate the number of purple balloons:
Number of purple balloons = (30 / 100) * 50 = 15
Now that we know there are 15 purple balloons, we can subtract this from the total number of balloons to find the number of blue balloons:
Number of blue balloons = total number of balloons - number of purple balloons
Number of blue balloons = 50 - 15 = 35
Therefore, there are 35 blue balloons.
