    Answer: she printed 200 programs

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x represent the number of programs that were printed.

    The printing cost was $0.32 per program. This means that the total cost of printing x programs would be 0.32 * x = $0.32x

    They were priced at $0.50 each. This means that the total revenue from selling x programs is 0.5 * x = $0.5x

    Taylor sold all but 50 programs. It means that the number of programs sold is

    x - 50 and the total revenue from the number of programs sold is 0.5 (x - 50)

    Revenue - cost = profit

    Taylor made a small profit of $11. It means that

    0.5 (x - 50) - 0.32x = 11

    0.5x - 25 - 0.32x = 11

    0.5x - 0.32x = 11 + 25

    0.18x = 36

    x = 36/0.18

    x = 200
