This argument is a valid argument by affirming the antecedent because it follows the form of a conditional statement: If A, then B. In this argument, A is "the price quote from College Insignias is lower than the price quote from University Logos" and B is "we will get the T-shirts for our ACS Relay for Life team printed at College Insignias."
