Answer 2

Yes, it will solve the problem

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Ellis is deviating from his budget by an amount of 10 dollars. This means that he need to reduce his weekly expenses atleast 10.

Now it is given that he spends 2.5 dollars on drinking hot chocolate when he goes for work. And it also mentioned that he works 5 days a week.

Saving from hot chocolate = 2.5$ per day

Saving from hot chocolate = 12.5$

Since the saving with hot chocolate is 2.5$ more than the target, hence this would bring him back in the budget
