To solve this problem using a system of equations, we can represent the cost of balloons from Balloon Express as "BE" and the cost of balloons from Balloon Mania as "BM".
According to the information given, Balloon Express charges $2 per balloon and $10 for delivery, so we can write the equation for Balloon Express as:
BE = 2(30) + 10
Balloon Mania charges $1.50 per balloon and $20 for delivery, so we can write the equation for Balloon Mania as:
BM = 1.50(30) + 20
By calculating these equations, we find that BE = 60 + 10 = $70 and BM = 1.50(30) + 20 = $65.
Therefore, the O'Donnells should choose Balloon Mania because they will save $5 compared to Balloon Express.
