    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given Josh had $150 to spend on 75 balloons for the birthday party. After buying the balloons, Josh had $8.25 left. we have to find the cost of each balloon.

    Let the cost of 1 balloon is $x

    Since, Money left after buying 75 balloons is $8.25 and the total money Josh had is $150.

    ∴ The equation can be written as

    (Cost of 75 balloons) + Money left=Total money

    ⇒ 75x+8.25=150
