(420 / 15) - 9
Okay so if we're looking for the cost of ONE uniform, we have to figure out the amount of money did NOT go to the uniforms.
If each player gets a basketball at $9 each... $9 x 15 players = $135 on basketballs.
$420 total - $135 basketballs = $285 all uniforms
Since we only need one uniform, we divide the remaining balance by the number of players:
$285 / 15 players = $19 per uniform

it seems like its 19$ per uniform
