Question

A clown bought 6 bags of round balloons with 24 balloons in each bag.The clown also bought 3 bags of long balloons with 36 balloons in each bag.How many more long balloons than round balloons did the clown buy?Show your work.

Answer 1

6 bags × 24 balloons = the amount of round balloons
6× 24 = 144
3 bags × 36 balloons = the amount of long balloons
3 ×36=108

108 long balloons - 144 round balloons = number of more long balloons that round ones
108-144=-36
He has -36 more long balloons that round ones
Or 36 more round balloons that long ones
