Answer 1

It's C

Explanation:

ur welcome

Answer 2

The answer is either I and III, or just II.
From the table that shows the money that Pam has already allocated, her current total expenses is the sum of the costs:
total expenses = Transportation + Hostel + Food budget + Sightseeing budget
= 10,804 + 9,773 + 11,229 + 24,615
= 56421 pesos
Subtracting this total expenses to her total budget is her extra budget:
extra budget = total expenses - total budget
= 77500 - 56421
= 21079 pesos
This means she can afford anything that is below or that sums up to her extra budget. Therefore, she can afford a brand-new walking shoes plus an electronic Tagalog/English dictionary: 6865 + 13255 = 20120. Or she can opt to chose a ticket upgrade to first class alone.
