To express the situation with an inequality in standard form, we start with the costs of volleyballs and nets. The cost of each volleyball is $7, and the cost of each net is $22. The total budget for the volleyball team is $480.
We can define \( x \) as the number of volleyballs and \( y \) as the number of nets. The total cost for the volleyballs and nets can be written as:
\[ 7x + 22y \]
Since the team plans to spend no more than $480, we can write the inequality as:
\[ 7x + 22y \leq 480 \]
To write this in standard form (which typically means rearranging it to the form \( ax + by \leq c \)), we can leave it as is, since it already fits the standard form style.
Thus, the inequality in standard form that describes the situation is:
\[ 7x + 22y \leq 480 \]
