Question

To decorate 2,804 guests table, 7 white balloons and 7 blue balloons are required. How many balloons are required altogether?

• A. 39,563 balloons
• B. 39,256 balloons
• C. 39,375 balloons
• D. 39,895 balloons

Answer 1

The correct option is B 39,256 balloons

Number of tables for guest = 2,804

Number of white balloons = 7
Number of blue balloons = 7
∴ Total number of balloons on one table = 7 + 7 = 14

So, number of balloons required for 2804 tables = (2,804 $\times$ 14)

Steps for multiplication are:
1. Multiply 2,804 by 4 ones.
2. Multiply 2,804 by 1 ten or 10.
3. Regroup as necessary.
4. Add the partial products to get the final product.


∴ 2,804 $\times$ 14 = 39,256

So, 39,256 balloons are required in total.
