Answer 1

To find out how much more Suzi can spend on this outing, we first need to determine how much she has already spent and then subtract that amount from her total budget.

Suzi's total budget for the outing is $28. She spent $8 on lunch and $12 on movie tickets.

First, we add the amounts spent:
- Lunch: $8
- Movie tickets: $12
- Total spent: $8 + $12 = $20

Next, we subtract the total spent from her total budget to find out how much more she can spend:
- Remaining budget: $28 - $20 = $8

So, Suzi can spend **$8** more without having a negative balance.

The correct response is:
$8
