A.

5

D.

275

Answer 1

Ok, so we know that a towel costs $6.00, and we need 30 towels. The first step is to multiply 30 * 6. Now we have $150 left in the budget. Since one basketball costs $30, we need to divide our budget (150) by the cost of a basketball (30). 150 / 30 = 5. There is enough money left in the budget to buy 5 basketballs.

Answer 2

*25 towels
