Answer 1

To determine how much more Suzi can spend on the outing without going over her budget, we start with her total allowance and subtract the amounts she has already spent.

Suzi's total budget for the outing is $28.

She spent:

• $8 on lunch
• $12 on movie tickets

Total spent = $8 + $12 = $20.

Now, subtract the total spent from the total budget:

$28 - $20 = $8.

Therefore, Suzi can spend an additional $8 on this outing without exceeding her budget.

The correct response is: $8.
