A bucket of balls costs more than playing the course?? Do you mean that a bucket costs $2?
Then, the equation would be 17c + 2b = 619

Question: A golf course charges $17 for a package including the full 18-hole course. The course also sells buckets of golf balls for $22 each. The golf course would like to earn $619 by the end of the day. Enter a linear equation that describes the problem.
Answer: It helps to remember that when you purchase several units of some good or service, you pay the same price for each item. If a loaf of bread costs $2, you will pay $10 for five loaves because ($2) x (5 loaves) = $10.
For this golf example, we're looking at two products: a package and a bucket. A package costs $17, and a bucket costs $22. When you pay for a number of packages and for a number of buckets, the total cost will come to $619.
So let's try this symbolization:
The total cost of...
Some number of packages at $17 each: 17c
and : +
Some number of buckets at $22 each: 22b
will be: =
$619.
17c + 22b = 619
