25 students
194 balloons

194/25 = 7.76
Each student gets 7 balloons, 7 x 25 = 175 balloons will be used
194 - 175 = 19 balloons remaining (Answer to part 1 of this question)

If each student needs 8 balloons
8 * 25 = 200
200 - 194 = 6 ballons needed (Answer to part 2 of this question)

We also could have found the answer to part 2 by saying that we had 19 balloons left over when the students each were given 7 balloons
Each student needs another 1 balloon = 25 balloons,
We have 19 left over
25 - 19 = 6 balloons need to be purchased (we got the same answer both ways so it is very likely we have the correct answer)
