Answer:

He can SPEND UP TO $77.92 and still meet his goal.

Explanation:

The table shows Marco's checking account activity for the first week of June.

Deposit Paycheck - $520.45

Purchase Grocery - $46.50

Purchase Movie Theater - $24.00

Purchase - Water bill $22.82

Now, the amount that needs to be spent < $450

Total purchase = Grocery Amount + Movie Theater tickets + Water Bill amount

= $46.50 + $24.00 + $22.82

= $93.02

So, his current expense for 1 week = $93.02

So, the expenditure for 4 weeks = 4 x ( Expense of 1 week)

= 4 x ($93.02) = $372.08

⇒ The monthly expenditure of Marco = $372.08

Now, his Limit Value - The monthly expenditure

= $450 - $372.08 = $77.92

He can SPEND UP TO $77.92 and still meet his goal.
