Question

The given image shows the number of blue, green, and orange balloons. A few balloons popped, and now there are \(445\) balloons. For each color, find the number of balloons that popped.

Answer 1

Say:
From the given image, we can say there are \(500\) blue balloons, \(50\) green balloons, and \(6\) orange balloons.
After a few balloons popped, \(445\) balloons were left.
For each color, let us calculate the number of balloons that were pooped.
Step:
\(500 + 50 + 6 = 556\)
There were \(546\) balloons in total, out of which \(446\) balloons popped.
\(445 = 400 + 40 + 5\)
Blue balloons represent hundreds place, green balloons represent tens place, and orange balloons represent ones place.
Number of blue balloons that popped \(= 500 – 400 = 100\)
Number of green balloons that popped \(= 50 – 40 = 10\)
Number of orange balloons that popped \(= 6 – 5 = 1\)
Hence, \(100\) blue balloons, \(10\) green balloons, and \(1\) orange balloon are popped.
Option B is the correct answer.
