Amy can create 1,000 flyers if she spends all $20 only on black-and-white flyers.

Explanation:

The total budget for making flyers is $20.

The cost of making a black-and-white flyer is $0.02.

The cost of making a colored flyer is $0.10.

If she spends the whole amount on making black-and-white flyers, it means zero colored flyers will be created.

Total number of black-and-white flyers will be

=Total budget/cost of making a black-and-white flyer

=20/0.02

=1,000

So, 1000 units of black-and-white flyers can be created by spending $20.
