    Answer: Basic Computer is $1900

    Step-by-step explanation:

    BC: basic Computer

    P: Printer

    EC: enhanced computer

    BC + P = 2500

    EC + P = X

    EC = BC + 500

    X/5 = P → X = 5P

    BC + P = 2500

    BC + 500 + P = 5P

    BC + P = 2500

    BC - 5P + P = - 500

    BC + P = 2500

    BC - 4P = - 500

    Subtracting

    5P = 3000

    P = 600 → BC = 2500 - P = 2500 - 600 = 1900
