My work to your question.
So, bike=b and accessories=a.
b+a=320
Since the bike is worth 7 times more than the accessories, the b would turn into 7a (because 7 times the cost of accessories is the cost of the bike).
The equation would now turn into 7a+a=320.
Solve for a.
7a+a=320
8a=320
a=40
Now that you know the cost of the accessories, you multiply that 40
by 7 to get the cost of the bike.
40(7)
280
The cost of the bike is $280.
The cost of the accessories are/is $40.
Let C be Clowns R Fun charge for b balloons and S be Singing Balloons charge.
C=6+1.25b and S=2+1.95b. C must be less than S.
6+1.25b<2+1.95b, 4<0.7b, b>4/0.7, b>40/7, b>5. So Mrs Travis needs to purchase more than 5 balloons.
