Answer: $11.52 left for each student

Explanation:

First, divide the total amount of money spent by the total amount of students. 170.64/18. You will get $9.48. So, that means that so far Mr. Chang has spent $9.48 on each student. Then, just subtract $9.48 from $21 (which is the total amount he is willing to spend on each student. You should get $11.52. So, Mr. Chang has $11.52 left to spend on each student. Hope this helps!
