    192 basketballs and 28 footballs

    Step-by-step explanation:

    lets take "b" as the number of basketballs and "f" as # of footballs

    so b+f=220

    first we need to find what 75% of 220 is:

    0.75*220=165

    there are 165 more basketballs

    hence b-165=f

    since we got what f is equal to we can substitute it into first equation:

    b + (b-165) = 220

    b+b-165=220

    2b-165=220

    2b=385

    b=192

    hence 192+f=220

    f=28
