Dariya works at a carnival at a booth where children throw darts at balloons to win a prize. The children toss a dart until they successfully pop a balloon. When popped, each balloon reveals a prize number 1 through 4, where 4 is the most expensive prize and 1 is the least expensive. Dariya needs to prepare 100 balloons so the expected outcome if the balloons are popped at random is 1.5. She is told that there must be one #4 prize and ten #3 prizes. How many of each balloon must she prepare from 1 to 4?
