Answer:

Paula needs additional $23.61

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Shirts = 3[/tex]

[tex]Belts = 2[/tex]

[tex]Cost(shirt) = \$16.89[/tex]

[tex]Cost(belt) = \$8.97[/tex]

[tex]Amount = \$45[/tex]

Required

Estimate how much money is needed more

First, we need to estimate the total amount of 3 shirts and 2 belts:

[tex]Total = Quantity * Cost[/tex]

[tex]Total = 3 * \$16.89 + 2 * \$8.97[/tex]

[tex]Total = \$50.67 + \$17.94[/tex]

[tex]Total = \$68.61[/tex]

Subtract the amount with Paula from the calculated total.

[tex]Difference = \$68.61-\$45[/tex]

[tex]Difference = \$23.61[/tex]

Hence:

Paula needs additional $23.61
