A high school basketball team has a budget specifically for towels and extra basketballs. A towel costs $6 and a basketball costs $30. Assume the budget is $300 and that 25 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.

Okay I will do this. 
25 time $6 a towel = 150. 
$300 is the max amount you can spend
$300 - 150 divided by 5 = $30. So you can only buy 5 basketballs.
