There were 3× as many confetti as balloons
and 1.2× as many stickers as balloons.
What is the total number of items ordered?
A) 42
B) 52
C) 62
D) 12
E) 32
Correct Answer: B 52
Quick Breakdown
Let balloons = X
Confetti = 3X
Stickers = 1.2X
Since 1.2X must be a whole number,
→ X must be odd
Smallest odd X = 5
Total items = X + 3X + 1.2X = 5.2X
5.2 × 5 = 26
Correct answer must be a multiple of 26 → 52
