Answer:
200 balloon total please tell brilliant ans
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us denote pink, blue, yellow and white balloons as p, b, y and w repectively.
Given,
1/4(x) = w
p:w = 2:1
p:y = 10:1
b=40
Total balloons,
p+b+y+w = x
2w+40+p/10+w =x
2w+40+2w/10+w=x
2*(1/4)x+40+1/5*(1/4)x+(1/4)x=x
(1/2+1/20+1/4)x - x =-40
[1-(10+1+5)/20]x = 40
(4/20)x = 40
(1/20)x=10
x=200
Hence, there are 200 balloons in total.
