To find out which store charges the least per balloon, we need to calculate the price per balloon at each store.

  1. Parties R Us:
    Price: $4.80 for 16 balloons
    Price per balloon = $4.80 / 16 = $0.30 per balloon

  2. Balloon Land:
    Price: $3.84 for 12 balloons
    Price per balloon = $3.84 / 12 = $0.32 per balloon

  3. Balloons O Rama:
    Price: $3.69 for 9 balloons
    Price per balloon = $3.69 / 9 = $0.41 per balloon

  4. Party World:
    Price: $4.35 for 15 balloons
    Price per balloon = $4.35 / 15 = $0.29 per balloon

Now, comparing the prices per balloon:

  • Parties R Us: $0.30 per balloon
  • Balloon Land: $0.32 per balloon
  • Balloons O Rama: $0.41 per balloon
  • Party World: $0.29 per balloon

The least expensive option is Party World, which charges $0.29 per balloon.
