14 Students at a school will sell hats to raise money. There are some hats left over from last
year, and 20 boxes of hats will be ordered this year. When the order arrives, the total number
of hats the students will have can be determined using the function f(x) = 48x + 37, where
x represents the number of boxes ordered. If the number of hats per box changes so that
the situation is modeled by the function h(x) = 24x + 37, then how many fewer hats will the
students have available to sell if they still order 20 boxes?
