The dance committee has a budget of $125 to decorate the gym for the spring dance. They have already spent $65. Some members want to buy helium balloons that cost $0.80 each. Write and solve an inequality to show the number of balloons that the dance committee could buy
First, we subtract the price already spent: 125 - 65 = 60 Now to find the amount of balloons: 0.8n = 60 Divide: n = 75 The dance committee can buy 75 balloons
