-

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$11 for 2 pounds

Solving (a): Cost per pound

This is calculated by dividing $11 by 2 pounds

Hence, the cost per pound is $5.5 per pound

Solving (b): Represent as an equation.

If 1 pound costs $5.5 (as shown in (a))

Then

x pounds costs $5.5 * x

This cost is represented with y

the ratio of balloons to tables is 5: 2 and the constant variation is 5.

the equation is y=5x
