Answer 1

To determine how much more Suzi can spend, we first add up her current expenses:

• Lunch: $8
• Movie tickets: $12

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

Now, we subtract this from her total budget for the outing, which is $28: \[ 28 - 20 = 8 \]

So, Suzi can spend an additional $8 on this outing without going over her budget.

The correct response is: $8.
