Tommy had a bag of 100 balloons.he took out 2 red balloons and 1 blue balloon for each party favor.He created 12 party favors how many balloons did Tommy have left
100 - (3 * 12) = ________
To find out how many balloons Tommy had left, we can follow these steps:
1. Start with the total number of balloons Tommy had, which was 100.
2. Tommy took out 2 red balloons for each party favor, so for 12 party favors, he used 2 x 12 = 24 red balloons.
3. Additionally, he took out 1 blue balloon for each party favor, so for 12 party favors, he used 1 x 12 = 12 blue balloons.
4. Now, let's subtract the number of balloons he used for party favors from the total number of balloons he had: 100 - 24 - 12 = 64.
Therefore, Tommy had 64 balloons left.
To find out how many balloons Tommy had left after creating 12 party favors, we need to calculate the total number of balloons used for the favors and subtract it from the initial number of balloons he had.
First, let's calculate the number of balloons used for each party favor. Tommy took out 2 red balloons and 1 blue balloon for each party favor, so each favor requires 2 red balloons + 1 blue balloon = 3 balloons.
Now, we can calculate the total number of balloons used for 12 party favors by multiplying the number of balloons used for each favor by the number of favors created: 3 balloons/favor x 12 favors = 36 balloons.
Finally, we can find out how many balloons Tommy had left by subtracting the total number of balloons used for the favors from the initial number of balloons he had: 100 balloons - 36 balloons = 64 balloons.
Therefore, Tommy had 64 balloons left.
