Answer:

There is not enough money with club.

Extra money needed = 14 $

Explanation:

Number of members in club = 19

Cost of 1 walking stick = 26 $

Money club has = 480 $

Cost for buying 19 walking sticks = 19 x Cost of 1 walking stick

Cost for buying 19 walking sticks = 19 x 26 = 494 $

Cost for buying 19 walking sticks > Money the club having.

There is not enough money.

Extra money needed = 494 - 480 = 14 $
