Answer:

Lets break this down

The question asks for “How many balloons does she end up with”?

A important fact is that Jan doesn’t care what color she has.
So using this we can disregard the colors.

She is only allowed to have 60 percent of all the balloons she choosed.

So lets add them.

10 + 12 +8 + 9 = 39

She chose 39 balloons in total.
Since she doesn’t care about the color we can jsut find 60 percent of 39.

In order to find this we just multiply 60% of 39.

Percentage means out of a hundred so 60 percent is 60 out of a hundred or in this age 60/100.

Now 60/100 is basically 0.6

So we multiply 39 by 0.6

23.4 is the answer.

Now you can’t have .4 of a balloon so we jsut round down for any decimal in this case.

23.4 is 23 now.

So 23 balloons is the amount of balloons Jan ends up with
