(a) how many more balloons than soft toys were sold?
(b) how many balloons were sold?
Before :
balloons ——- 100u + 286
soft toys ——-100u
After :
balloons ——- 100u + 286 – 116p
soft toys ——-100u – 100p
100u – 100p – (100u + 286 – 116p) = 16p – 286 ——- 162
1p ——- (286 + 162)16 = 28
16p ——- 28 x 16 = 448
(b)
116p ——- 28 x 116 = 3248
Ans : (a) 448 more balloons; (b) 3248 balloons.
