Question

Randi and her sister made balloon animals and sold the for. $0.50 each at the school carnival. They made $48.00. If Randi made twice as many balloons as her sister, how balloon animals did each girl make?

Answer 1

Answer:

Balloon made by Randi's sister $=32$

Balloon made by Randi $=64$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Randi's sister made $x$ balloons.

Balloons made by Randi $=2\times x=2x$

total ballons $=x+2x=3x$

$1$ cast of $1$ ballon $=\ 0.50$

Cost of $x$ balloons $=3x\times0.50=1.5x$

Given total money made $=\ 48.0$

$1.5x=48\\\\x=\frac{48}{1.5}\\\\x=32$

ballon made by Randi's sister $=32$

Ballon made by Randi's =$2\times32=64$
