Question

A high school basketball team has a budget specifically for towels and extra basketballs. A towel costs $4 and a basketball costs $22. Assume the budget is $350 and that 30 towels are needed for the team for the entire season. Use a standard form equation to determine how many basketballs may be purchased by the team.

Answer 1

Answer:B

Explanation:

Your budget is 350 and the 30 towels are mandatory to be purchased so 30 multiplied by 4 is 120 then you subtract that by the 350 you’ll get 230 which you then divide by 22 to see how many balls you can afford to purchase which is going to come out to 10.45 I rounded so since the 4 is not big enough I rounded down and stayed at 10.

Answer 2

First, you need to find the cost of the towels. If you need 30 towels and each towel is $4, you do 30*4.

The answer is $120

You then take the cost of towels (120) and subtract that from the budget (350) which leaves you with $230

Then you take $230 and divide it by $22 and that is the amount of basketballs that can be purchased.
