Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The collector has 160 movie posters and 120 band posters.

She wants to sell 24 movie posters but still have her poster collection maintain the same ratio of 160:120.

Total ratio = 160 + 120 = 280

If she sells 24 movie posters, it means

24 = 160/280 × x = 160x/280

Where x = total number of movie posters and band posters sold

24 × 280 = 160x

160x = 6720

x = 6720/160 =42

Number of band posters that she should sell = total number of both posters - number of movie posters.

Number of band posters that she should sell = 42-24 =18

The top box on the page explains the idea completely.
You need to read the top box several times, and understand it.
A ratio is a comparison of two quantities by division.

1). Days in May: 31
     Days in a year:  365
     Their ratio:    31/365 .

2).  Sides of a triangle:  3
       Sides of a square:  4
       Their ratio:        3/4 .

The middle box explains how two ratios can be equal,
and it gives you a very detailed example.  You should
read the middle box and understand it.
Ratios are fractions.  They can be equal in just the same
way that any two fractions can be equal. 
And you can simplify ratios in exactly the same way that
you simplify fractions ... divide top and bottom both by
the same number.

3).  8/12         Cook up three equal ratios.
       1.  divide top and bottom by 2 . . . . . 4/6
       2.  divide top and bottom by 4 . . . . . 2/3
       3.  multiply top and bottom by 9 . . . . 72/108
       These are just some that I chose.
       There are millions of others. 

4).  20/25      Cook up three equal ratios.
       1.  divide top and bottom by 5 . . . . . 4/5
       2.  multiply top and bottom by 4 . . . . 80/100
       3.  multiply top and bottom by 3 . . . . 60/75
       These are just some that I chose.
       There are millions of others. 

5).  5/6         Cook up three equal ratios.
       1.  multiply top and bottom by 2 . . . . 10/12
       2.  multiply top and bottom by 3 . . . .
       3.  multiply top and bottom by 9 . . . . 45/54
       These are just some that I chose.
       There are millions of others. 

6).   10/14         Cook up three equal ratios.
       1.  divide top and bottom by 2 . . . . 5/7
       2.  multiply top and bottom by 2 . . . .
       3.  multiply top and bottom by (you choose) . . . .
