Answer 1

To find out how much more Suzi can spend, we first need to determine how much she has already spent on arts and crafts supplies.

Suzi has spent:

• $12 on specialty paper
• $8 on felt

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

Now, we subtract this total spent from her monthly budget to find out how much she has left:

Total budget = $40.
Amount spent = $20.

Amount left to spend = $40 - $20 = $20.

So, Suzi can spend $20 more this month without having a negative balance.

The answer is $20.
