Answer:

a) 83 balloons are sold

b) 43 balloons are not sold.

Step-by-step explanation:

126 balloons an 1/2 in the morning were sold  so 63.

1/3 of 63 we're sold in the afternoon, 1/3 = 0.333 so the sold balloons are 83, just added the product of both 126-1/2 and 63-1/3.

Unsold are 43, 126 - 83 = 43

Check:

83 + 43 = 126 therefore the answer is correct
