Answer 1

To determine how much more Suzi can spend, we first need to calculate how much she has already spent. Suzi spent $8 on lunch and $12 on movie tickets.

Total spent = $8 + $12 = $20

Next, we subtract the amount she has spent from her total budget for the outing, which is $28.

Amount left to spend = Total budget - Amount spent Amount left to spend = $28 - $20 = $8

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

The correct response is $8.
