I do not know the answer please tell me

Answer 2

Representing the scenario using mathematical expressions, the number of yellow balloons filled is 10.

Puff required :

• Blue Ballon = 16
• Yellow Ballon = 23
• Green Ballon = 26
• Red Ballon = 32
• Total puffs = 1000

Let :

• Number of yellow = y
• Number of Blue = 2y
• Number of Red balloons = y
• Number of green balloons = y/2

Mathematically, the total puffs can be represented thus :

23y + 16(2y) + 32y + 26(y/2) = 1000

23y + 32y + 32y + 13y = 1000

100y = 1000

y = 1000/10

y = 10

Therefore, Billy filled 10 yellow balloons.
