Answer 1

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

1. Total budget for the month: $40
2. Amount spent on specialty paper: $12
3. Amount spent on felt: $8

Now, let's add the amounts she has already spent: \[ 12 + 8 = 20 \]

Next, subtract this total from her budget: \[ 40 - 20 = 20 \]

So, Suzi can spend $20 more this month on arts and crafts supplies without going into a negative balance.

The correct response is $20.
