Read and answer
Read the story first, then answer.
Dev plans a partyDev was turning eight, and the family gave twelve pretend coins for a party. A budget is a plan for sharing out the coins. Dev made a list. The cake cost five coins. Balloons cost two, music cost three and games cost four. Dev wanted everything, so the adding began. Five and two make seven, and seven and three make ten. That left two coins, but the games cost four. Dev was two coins short. "Which one can we do without?" asked Dad. Dev chose to skip the music. The cake, balloons and games cost eleven coins, which fit under twelve with one coin to spare. On party day a friend hummed happy birthday, and that music was free.

27 5 + 2 = 7. The picture shows the cake coins and the balloon coins in two rings.
35 coins Cake and balloons cost 7. 12 − 7 = 5 coins are left. The 7 crossed-out coins are the ones spent.
4True 5 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 14, and 14 is 2 more than 12, so Dev is 2 coins short.
511 5 + 2 + 4 = 11. That fits under 12, with 1 coin to spare.
6True 5 + 2 + 3 = 10, and 10 is less than 12, so that plan fits.
71-D, 2-C, 3-B, 4-A 5 + 2 = 7, 5 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 14, 5 + 3 + 4 = 12 and 2 + 3 + 4 = 9. Only 14 is more than 12.
8Cake and balloons, Balloons, music and games, Cake, balloons and games They cost 7, 9 and 11. Two cakes and games cost 14, and two cakes, balloons and music cost 15: both are more than 12.
91, 2, 4, 3 Dev lists first, then adds, then finds the plan is too much, and last chooses to skip the music.
107 is what he spent. He has 12 − 7 = 5 left Spending 7 coins out of 12 leaves 5, not 7.
110 All four cost 14, and 14 − 14 = 0, so the plan fits exactly with nothing left.
