Orvin went to the store with just enough money to buy $30$ balloons. When he arrived, he discovered that the store had a special sale on balloons: buy $1$ balloon at the regular price and get a second at $\frac{1}{3}$ off the regular price. What is the greatest number of balloons Orvin could buy?
Since he pays $\dfrac{2}{3}$ the price for every second balloon, the price for two balloons is $\dfrac{5}{3}$. Thus, if he had enough money to buy $30$ balloons before, he now has enough to buy $30 \cdot \dfrac{2}{\dfrac{5}{3}} = 30 \cdot \dfrac{6}{5} = \fbox{36}$.
