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)
If you add all of them together you will get 32
Example:

This suggests two solutions,

and

.
However, upon plugging these solutions back into the equation, you get

which checks out, but

does not because

is defined only for

(assuming you're looking for real solutions only). So, we call

an extraneous solution, and the complete solution set (over the real numbers) is

.
Answer:
Sum of money invested in corporate bonds = 30,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Total sum = 40,000
The rate of interest for corporate bonds = 10 % = 0.1
The rate of interest for municipal bonds = 6 % = 0.06
Total interest = 3600
Let sum of money invested in corporate bonds = x
The sum of money invested in municipal bonds = 40000 - x
× 0.1 × 1 + (
) × 0.06 × 1 = 3600
(0.1- 0.06)
+ 2400 = 3600
0.04
= 1200
= 30,000
Since x = sum of money invested in corporate bonds
So sum of money invested in corporate bonds = 30000
