Question

A company charges $2 for each balloon in an arrangement and a $3 delivery fee. You have $9 to spend. How many
ballons can you afford? Write an equation and solve

Answer 1

You can afford 3 balloons for your arrangement.

The equation would be y=2x + 3

Y being the total amount of money, $9.

And x being the amount of balloon you can get.

9=2x+3

6=2x

X=3.

You can afford 3 balloons.

Hope this helps!
