Step-by-step explanation:

in the equation, it is the amount of money that is raised because how much money is raised affects the amount of basketballs purchased.

In other words, if the amount of money is less, then there will be less basketballs purchased as a result. If the amount of money is more, then there will be more basketballs purchased as a result.
