Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is (c)

Explanation:

Given:

Amount that Sue has in her account before any transactions = $899.83

Expenses:

Rent = $353.76

Video game = $32.79

Bike maintenance = $60.26

Jacket = $55.62

Rug = $80.40

Night out = $35.77

Total expenses = 353.76 + 32.79 + 60.26 + 55.62 + 80.4 + 35.77

                          = $618.60

Money left in the account after making transactions = 899.83 - 618.60

                                                                                       = $281.23

Sue's share of cost of TV = $305.22

If she agrees to buy a TV, her account will be overdrawn by $23.99 (281.23 - 305.22) as balance in account is lesser than cost of TV.
