The NSA Knights basketball team is purchasing new sweatshirts for the season. The cost of 5 team sweatshirts is $90. At this price, how much would it cost to buy sweatshirts for a whole team of 17 players? Use a proportion to solve.

The answer is 306 because if 5 shirts at 90 then if you divide 90 by 5 you should get how much each shirt coz which is 18 then they wanna buy 17 shirts so then you multiply 17 by 18
