Answer:

The team can buy 5 volleyballs at maximum with no money left over.

Explanation:

First, you need to find the money that the jerseys used:

12 × 22 = $264

Next, you have to subtract that from the total amount:

350 - 264 = $86

Finally, you have to see how many volleyballs you can buy:

If volleyballs cost $15 each then, 86 ÷ 15 = 5.73333333(Infinite)

But you can not buy part of a volleyball so you would have to buy 5 volleyballs. Then you would only have .7333333(Infinite) money left over, but that wouldn't be good for anything.

Is this a good answer????
