Question

Out of the total balloons, there are $8$ yellow balloons and the number of red balloons is not less than $10$. Which of the following equations will help us find the number of red balloons?

• A. $17-8=9$
• B. $10+8=18$
• C. $19-8=11$
• D. $8+3=11$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $19-8=11$

In option C, $19$ is the total number of balloons. If the number of yellow balloons which is $8$ is subtracted from $19$ we will get $11$, the number of red balloons. And $11$ is greater than $10$. So, $19–8=11$ is the correct equation.
