Answer

Let t be number of minutes since tap is opened

water is increased by 20 gallons of water per minute.

sugar increase rate of 3 pounds per minute

water :- W(t) = 350 + 10 t

sugar :- S(t) = 10 + 3 t

concentration

C(t) = \dfrac{S(t)}{W(t)}

at t = 15 minutes

C(15) = \dfrac{S(15)}{W(15)}

C(15) = \dfrac{10 + 3\times 15 }{350 + 10\times 15}

C(15) = 0.11

at beginning t = 0 minutes

C(0) = \dfrac{S(0)}{W(0)}

C(0) = \dfrac{10 + 3\times 0}{350 + 10\times 0}

C(0) = 0.0286

C(15) > C(0)

hence, concentration is increasing as time is passing.

Okay so there are 100 white balloons, 200 pink balloons, and we are specified that the ratio of pink to yellow is 10:1 soo we can plug 200:20 which can be simplified to 100:10 which can then be simplified to 10:1 there is our ratio. So there are 29 yellow balloons. Therefore there are only 80 balloons left which would mean there are 80 blue balloons!:)
