Answer:

Explanation:

She plans to spend 3/36 of her budget on a cake ($24.00).

Because $24.00 is 3/36 of the total budget, you divide 24 by 3/36.


(24)/(1) ÷
(3)/(36)

Then, multiply the reciprocal of 3/36, which is 36/3.

=
(24)/(1) ×
(36)/(3)

=
(864)/(3) = 288

So, Dane's total budget for the birthday is $288.

Hope this helped !
