Answer 1

Suzi has a monthly budget of $40 for arts and crafts supplies. This month, she spent $12 on specialty paper and $8 on felt.

First, let's calculate her total expenditures so far:

Total spent = $12 + $8 = $20

Next, we find out how much money she has left to spend:

Money left = Monthly budget - Total spent Money left = $40 - $20 = $20

So, Suzi can still spend $20 this month on arts and crafts supplies without going over her budget.

The correct response is:

$20
