Question

0-58
O $8
0-$40
О $40

Answer 1

To find out how much more Suzi can spend on the outing, we first need to determine how much she has already spent and then subtract that from her total budget for the outing.

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

She has spent:

• $8 on lunch
• $12 on movie tickets

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

Now, we subtract the total spent from her budget:

$28 (budget) - $20 (spent) = $8.

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

The correct answer is $8.
