Solution

First, we need to find out how many balloons were left after some of them burst. The planner started with 272 balloons and 12 of them burst. So, we subtract 12 from 272.

272 - 12 = 260

So, there were 260 balloons left.

Next, we need to find out how many balloons go in each room. The question says that the balloons were placed evenly into 5 rooms. So, we divide the total number of balloons by the number of rooms.

260 ÷ 5 = 52

So, each room had 52 balloons. The answer is C. 52.
