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.
-------
# of bb's = (350-30*4)/22
----
f(x) = (230/22) = 10.45
