The school decided to add 20% to the gym budget. In a normal month, they could buy 15 dodgeballs for $5 each if they spent the entire budget on that. If they only buy softballs instead, which cost $9 each, how many can they buy with the new budget?

How much did they spend on dodgeballs in a normal month? ** The old budget was $75 because 15 x 5 = <<15*5=75>>75
How much are they adding to the budget? ** They are adding $15 to the budget because 75 x .2 = <<75*.2=15>>15
How much is the new budget? ** The new budget is $90 because 75 + 15 = <<75+15=90>>90
How many softballs can they buy with the new budget? ** They can buy 10 softballs on the new budget because 90 / 9 = <<90/9=10>>10
