Question

Who followed the guidelines for spending wisely? Erika goes to one store and buys a laptop without shopping around. Mia makes a list before she heads to the grocery store, but she sees a magazine near the checkout counter and buys it. Erin makes a purchase online using a credit card. She knows that she can pay the entire bill when it arrives. Lauren buys a cheap pair of headphones. They break. Now she needs to buy a new pair.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Erin makes a purchase online using a credit card. She knows that she can pay the entire bill when it arrives.

Answer 2

It seems that Erika hasn't price checked-she could find a laptop for cheaper. Mia seems to impulse buy-suddenly finding something and buying it. Lauren has to spend more money because she bought cheap, instead of investing in something that will last

It looks like Erin has spent her money wisely-she knows she can pay the entire bill when it arrives, which is always good.
