Joe needs to buy supplies for a birthday party. At the store, balloons cost $0.50 each and party hats each cost $1.25. If Joe wa

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

$0.50b+1.25h=20$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let b be the number of balloons and h be number of party hats.

We have been given that balloons cost $0.50 each, so cost of b balloons will be 0.50b.

We are also told that party hats each cost $1.25, so cost of h party hats will be 1.25h.

Further, Joe wants to spend exactly $20 on the party supplies. We can represent this information in an equation as:

$0.50b+1.25h=20$

Therefore, the equation $0.50b+1.25h=20$ represents the number of balloons ( b) and the number of party hats ( h) that Joe can buy spending exactly $20.
