Answer:

536 posters

Step-by-step explanation:

So the club only has $1500 to spend, you can write this down as the beginning of your equation (1500=)

Now we know that the printer charges 160 as a BASE so you should now have (1500=160)

We also know that it costs an extra $2.50 per poster. You can rewrite this as:

1500=160+2.5(x)

Now subtract 160 from both sides to get:

1340=2.5(x)

Now divide 2.5 from both sides to get x by itself:

536=x

Therefore they are able to afford 536 posters
