Noah’s family also wants to blow up a total of 60 balloons for the party. Yesterday they blew up 24 balloons. Today they want to split the remaining balloons equally between four family members.
Let x represent the number of balloons each family member will blow up.
We know that they want to blow up a total of 60 balloons, and they already blew up 24 yesterday. This means they have 60 - 24 = 36 balloons left to blow up today.
If they want to split the remaining balloons equally between four family members, each family member will blow up x balloons. Therefore, we can set up the equation:
4x = 36
Solving for x, we get:
x = 36/4
x = 9
Therefore, each family member will blow up 9 balloons today.
