Answer 1

To find out how much more Suzi can spend, we first need to determine how much she has already spent.

Suzi's total budget for the month is $40. She spent $12 on specialty paper and $8 on felt:

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

Now, subtract the total spent from her budget:

Amount left = Budget - Total spent = $40 - $20 = $20.

So, Suzi can spend an additional $20 on arts and crafts supplies without going over her budget.

The correct response is:

$20
