Given:For every 7 basketballs in a gym, there are 3 soccer balls.
Asked:What is the total number of basketballs and soccer balls in the gym?
Let basketballs be 7x and soccer balls be 3x.
1) The difference between the number of basketballs and soccer balls in the gym is 24.
7x-3x=4x=24
x=6
Total balls = 7x+3x=10x=60
SUFFICIENT
2) The number of basketballs in the gym is between 36 and 55.
Basketballs = 7x = 42 or 49
x=6 or 7
Total balls = 10x = 60 or 70
NOT SUFFICIENT

Total Balls= 10x=60
Basketballs = 7x = 49
x=7
Total balls = 10x = 70
