27 students are learning to make balloon animals. There are 172 balloons to be shared equally among the students
2 answers:
10 balloons are left over after sharing them equally and 17 more balloons are needed
- Numbers of students learning to make balloon animal = 27
- Total balloon to be shared equally among the students = 172
<u>First step: </u>
To determine how many balloons each student gets = the total balloons to be shared equally among the students divided by the number of students learning to make balloon animal.
Therefore, we have:
=
= 6.37
= 6 balloons (each student get 6 balloons)
<u>Second step: </u>
To get how many balloons will be used by the entire student, then we should multiply the number of balloon each student gets (6) and the numbers of students learning to make balloon animal (27)
Therefore, we have:
= 6 x 27
= 162 (162 balloon will be used by the student)
To calculate the remaining balloons, then we have to subtract the total balloons to be shared equally by the students and the numbers of balloon to be used by the entire students
Therefore, we have:
= 172 – 162
= 10 balloons.
Thus, 10 balloons are left over after sharing them equally.
<u>Part B: </u>
If each student needs 7 balloons, then 17 more balloons are needed.
Since we have 10 balloons left after sharing them equally, to determine how many more balloons are needed = total number of students learning to make balloon animal – the numbers of balloon left over after sharing them equally.
Therefore, we have:
= 27 – 10
= 17 balloons
Therefore, if each student needs 7 balloons, 17 more balloons are needed.
<h3><u>Another step:</u></h3>Another way you could determine how many balloons are needed is to multiply the numbers of balloon each student needs and the total number of student learning to make balloons animals, and subtract the value you derived from the total balloon to be shared equally among the students.
Therefore, we have:
= 7 x 27
= 189 balloons
= 189 - 172
= 17 balloons.

Step-by-step explanation:
A nice graphing calculator app makes these trivially simple. (See the first two attachments.) It is available for phones, tablets, and as a web page.

The usual methods of solving a system of equations involve <em>elimination</em> or <em>substitution</em>.
There is another method that is relatively easy to use. It is a variation of "Cramer's Rule" and is fully equivalent to <em>elimination</em>. It makes use of a formula applied to the equation coefficients. The pattern of coefficients in the formula, and the formula itself are shown in the third attachment. I like this when the coefficient numbers are "too messy" for elimination or substitution to be used easily. It makes use of the equations in standard form.

<em>Note on Cramer's Rule</em>
The equation you will see for Cramer's Rule applied to a system of 2 equations in 2 unknowns will have the terms in numerator and denominator swapped: ec-bf, for example, instead of bf-ec. This effectively multiplies both numerator and denominator by -1, so has no effect on the result.
The reason for writing the formula in the fashion shown here is that it makes the pattern of multiplications and subtractions easier to remember. Often, you can do the math in your head. This is the method taught by "Vedic maths" and/or "Singapore math." Those teaching methods tend to place more emphasis on mental arithmetic than we do in the US.
