    The ratio of yellow balloons to blue balloons is 8:12

    Then there are 100 balloons. Making the equation, we are able to have:

    8X + 12X = 1000

    20x = 1000

    X = 50.

    Yellow balloons = 8x = 8 * 50 = 400 yellow balloons

    Blue balloons = 12X = 12 * 50 = 600 blue balloons

    So there are 400 yellows balloons.
