Answer 1

a.)They spent $24.68 on poster boards.

b.) $50.5

c.) they spent $224.88 in total so they have $75.52 left to spend

Explanation:

a.) $6.17 times 4 poster boards.

6.17 x 4 = 24.68

b.) $200.20 divided by 4 lights

200.20 divided by 4 = $50.5

c.) The lighting cost $200.20 plus the poster boards $24.68 add them.

200.20+24.68= 224.88

The budget was $300 so you subtract the total from the budget,

300-224.88 = 75.52
