STEP 1

Assumptions1. Each team receives exactly14 water balloons.
. The total number of water balloons given out is70.
3. We want to find the number of teams, denoted by $t$.

STEP 2

We can set up an equation to represent the situation. Since each team receives14 water balloons, and the total number of balloons given out is70, we can write the equation as$$14t =70$$This equation represents the total number of balloons (70) being divided equally among the teams (each team getting14 balloons).

STEP 3

Now, we need to solve this equation for $t$. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by14.
$$t = \frac{70}{14}$$

Calculate the value of $t$.
$$t = \frac{70}{14} =$$There are teams in the contest.
