Of the last 20 balloons sold at a party store, 5 were pink. Considering this data, how many of the next 12 balloons sold would you expect to be pink? (For your response, give me your proportion set up and your x=answer. This is an example of what it would look like --> 5/6=x/18 --> x = 15) *

3 balloons

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio would be pink balloons to total balloons (aka pink/total), so 5 to 20 (aka 5/20). This simplifies to 1/4. If the new total is 12, and x represents pin balloons, then you can do 1/4=x/12. By cross multiplying, you get 12=4x. Divide both sides by 4 and x would equal 3. Therefore, the party store should expect to sell 3 pink balloons.

$450.00 for 6 weeks

or

$300

step-by-step explanation:

$200.00 for first week $50.00 x5 equals $250 plus $200 equals $450.00 for six weeks.

$200 for first week

$200 x 0.10 = $20

$20 x 5 = $100

$200 + $100 = $300
