Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
this one is tricky so b/c the lines are at 90 degees we know that the arcs are similar so set up the parts of the arcs equal to 360 degrees
360 = 130 + 130 + x + x
see each part of the circle ?
then use your mad algebra skilz
100 = 2x
50 = x
:) nice.. when I do the math , it seems easy , huh :DDD

A general equation to use for this situation is y = mx + b.
For this question, we can assume that y is total cost, m is cost per balloon, x is the amount of balloons, and b as the service fee; so we can set the equation up:
y = (4.50)x + 12
And we can further plug in the total cost to find the number of balloons purchased for the party:
79.50 = (4.50)x + 12
Now we can solve for x (number of balloons):
67.50 = (4.50)x
x = 15
The total number of balloons purchased for the party is 15.
