Answer:

you will want 4 of the mylar balloons and 12 of the regular balloons

Explanation:

Explanation- the mylar balloons are $2.45 a piece and 2.45 multiplied by 4 is 9.8 AKA $9.80. and the regular balloons are $0.35 a piece and .35(0.35) multiplied by 12 is 4.2 AKA $4.20 and 9.80 + 4.20 is 14 AKA $14.00
