A.
26 balloons per day
B.
28 balloons per day
C.
29 balloons per day
D.
27 balloons per day

Answer 1

To find Jack's selling rate in balloons per day, we can divide the total number of balloons sold by the number of days.

Jack sold 532 balloons over 19 days.

So, we calculate:

\[
\text{Selling rate} = \frac{\text{Total balloons sold}}{\text{Number of days}} = \frac{532}{19}
\]

Calculating that:

\[
532 \div 19 \approx 28
\]

So, Jack's selling rate is approximately 28 balloons per day.

The answer is **B. 28 balloons per day**.
