In a nut shell, I took the same calculations (also assuming the sides at 7')
and I came up with the following.............

A-frame tent calc's:

If by "fill the tent" you mean fill the A-frame tent's triangular
prism roof completely, leaving a flat ceiling of balloons, then,
assuming 7' walls, I'd estimate it would take approximately 1333
balloons.

-----The first time I calculated, I came up with 3226??. The second time, I
came up with 1382??-----(I don't want to try a 3rd time, I'm too afraid!)

If by "fill the tent" you mean cover the inside of the A-frame tent's
triangular prism roof with a single layer of balloons, then, assuming
7' walls, I'd estimate it would take between 530 and 620 balloons,
approximately.

-----I came up with an estimate of 597-----

Frame tent calc's:

If by "fill the tent" you mean fill the frame tent's pyramidal roof
completely, leaving a flat ceiling of balloons, then, assuming 7'
walls, I'd estimate it would take approximately 890 balloons.

-----I came up with approximately 845-----

I hope this helps,
