To represent the situation with an inequality, we use the given variables where \( x \) is the number of volleyballs and \( y \) is the number of nets.
The cost of \( x \) volleyballs is \( 9.18x \), and the cost of \( y \) nets is \( 19.85y \). The volleyball team has a maximum budget of $560.
We can write the inequality as:
\[
9.18x + 19.85y \leq 560
\]
This is the inequality in standard form that describes the spending constraint of the volleyball team.
