Answer 2

Amira uses 4 balloons to produce each balloon animal

Explanation:

since Amira uses the same number of balloon for each animal the number is constant k

From the table the number of animals sold increased progressively by

From the table the number of balloons remaining decreased by

36 each day

using this information given to find K

number of decreasing balloons / number of increasing animals sold

k = 36/9 = 4
