Question

Tarun has a few balloons with him. The number of balloons he has is MORE than 15 but LESS than 20. He gives 5 of them to Sia. What could be the number of balloons LEFT with Tarun

Answer 1

Answer:

No. of balloons left with Tarun is MORE than 10

but LESS than 15.

10 < No. of balloons left with Tarun  <15

Step-by-step explanation:

this is problem of inequality . first we will try to write the existing condition in inequality form then apply other situation as given in the problem.

___________________________________________________

let the no . of balloons with Tarun be x

Given  he has is MORE than 15 balloons

thus, in equality it can be represented as

x > 15

he has LESS than 20 balloons

x < 20

combining both we have

15   < x < 20

now he gives 5 of them to sia

so we have to subtract 5 from inequality

he has left with him x-5 , let x-5 be y

thus,

subtracting 5 from each part of inequality

15  -5 < x-5 < 20 -5

10 < x-5 < 15

10 < y <15

Thus, No. of balloons left with Tarun is MORE than 10

but LESS than 15.
