Answer 1

Wendy does not have enough of money to cover the price of everything

Explanation:

If Wendy has $30 and wants to but 5 pairs of socks that cost $1.99($2.00) each and a scarf for $20.49, she wouldn't have enough of money because the 5 pairs of socks would be $10 and if you subtract that from $30, she would only have $20 dollars left, so she wouldn't have enough money to pay for the socks and scarf, which also means she would only have to pick one of the two items she wants, either she pays for the socks, or she pays for the scarf, but she can't pay for both.
