$\bold{\huge{\orange{\underline{ Solution }}}}$

$\bold{\underline{ Given \: Rules}}$

The sum of the number in each of the four rows is the same
The sum of the numbers in each of the three columns is the same
The sum of any row does not equal the sum of any column

$\bold{\underline{ Let's \: Begin}}$

According to the Second rule :-

$\sf{ 75+b+83=76+80+d=a+81+85+78+c+e }$

$\sf{ 158 + b = 156 + d = 166 + a = 78 + c + e ...(1)}$

According to the first rule :- 

$\sf{ 75+76+a+78 = b+80+81+c = 83+86+d+e}$

$\sf{ 229 + a = 161 + b + c = 168 + d + e ...(2)}$

From ( 1 ) we got :-

$\sf{ 158 + b = 166 + a, 156 + d = 166 + a }$

$\sf{ b = 166 - 158 + a, d = 166 - 156 + a }$

$\sf{ b = 8 + a, d = 10 + a ...(3)}$

Subsitute (3) in ( 2 ) :-

$\sf{229+a = 161+8+a+c = 168+10+a+e}$

$\sf{ 229+a = 169+a+c = 178+a+e}$

We can write it as :-

$\sf{ 229+a = 169+a+c \:or\:229+a = 178+a+e}$

$\sf{ c = 299-169+a-a\:or\:e = 229-178+a-a}$

$\sf{ c = 60 \: and \: e = 51 }$

Subsitute the value of c and e in ( 1 ):-

$\sf{ 158 + b = 156 + d = 166 + a = 78 + 60 + 51 }$

$\sf{ 158 + b = 156 + d = 166 + a = 189}$

Now, 

$\sf{ For \: b, 158 + b = 189 }$

$\sf{ b = 189 - 158 }$

$\sf{ b = 31}$

$\sf{ For \: d , 156 + b = 189 }$

$\sf{ d = 189 - 156 }$

$\sf{ d = 33}$

$\sf{ For \: a, 166 + a = 189 }$

$\sf{ a = 189 - 166 }$

$\sf{ a = 23 }$

Hence, The value of a, b, c, d and e is 23, 31 ,60 ,33 and 51 .

There are a total of 100 balloons. If the ratio of yellow balloons to blue balloons is 8 to 12, how many of them are yellow

Ivanshal [37]

If you have 8 yellow balloons for every 12 blue balloons, then if you have 20 balloons in total, 8 out of 20 of those balloons will be yellow. Then you can set up this ratio:

$\frac{8yellow}{20total} = \frac{Xyellow}{100total}$

Then, you can use either cross multiplication or multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number to help solve for x. Personally, I prefer cross multiplication, so that's what I'll show you here:

$\frac{8yellow}{20total} = \frac{Xyellow}{100total} \\ 8yellow*100total=20total*Xyellow$

Finally, solve for x:

$8yellow*100total=20total*Xyellow \\ 8*100=20*x \\ 800=20x \\ 800/20=20x/20 \\ x=40yellow$

If you had 100 balloons, you will have 40 yellow balloons.

Hope this helps!!
