Answer:
please mark me brainiest.
Step-by-step explanation:
1 jursey=12$
22 jursey=(12×22)$
=264$
money left=(350-264)$
=86$
15$=1 voleyball
86$=(86÷15)=5.733..
5 voleyball=(5×15)=75$
money left=(86-75)=11$

Sample response: The team can buy 5 volleyballs. I wrote the inequality (12)(22) + 15n < 350, then did the multiplication first. I used the subtraction and division properties of inequality to isolate the variable to find that n is less than about 5.73. I rounded down to 5, since you can’t buy part of a volleyball.
