Answer 1

To determine how much more Suzi can spend, we first need to calculate her total spending so far and then see how much budget she has left.

Suzi's total budget is $28.

She spent:

• $8 on lunch
• $12 on movie tickets

Total spent so far: \[ 8 + 12 = 20 \]

Now, we subtract her total spending from her budget: \[ 28 - 20 = 8 \]

Suzi can spend an additional $8 without going over her budget.

So, the correct answer is: $8.
