Pamela shows these variable expenses on her March budget: $13.00 for a purse, $8.00 for school supplies, and a $4.00 donation to the animal shelter. She has no fixed expenses for March and plans to earn $16.00 caring for her friend’s pet. How much more will Pamela have to earn to get a balanced budget?
so take 13, 8 and 4 and add those together to get the budget she needs for the month. 13+8+4=25 so she needs $25 in all, to find how much more than 16 she needs you take 25 and minus 16 from it. 25-16=19 so she needs $19 more to have a balanced budget.
