To determine how much more Suzi can spend this month on arts and crafts, we need to first calculate how much she has already spent.

Suzi spent:

  • $12 on specialty paper
  • $8 on felt

Total spent = $12 + $8 = $20

Suzi has a budget of $40 for the month.

Remaining budget = Total budget - Total spent Remaining budget = $40 - $20 = $20

Therefore, Suzi can spend $20 more this month on arts and crafts without going over her budget.

The correct response is: $20
