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.
