To solve this worksheet, we need to look at each row. In every row, there is a "Your Budget" amount. We must check the price of each item to see if it is less than or equal to that budget. If the price is higher than the budget, you cannot buy it.
Here is the step-by-step check for each problem:
Problem 1
*
Budget: $10.00
*
Item 1: Yogurt costs $0.64. ($0.64 is less than $10.00) ->
Yes
*
Item 2: Ground Beef costs $6.47. ($6.47 is less than $10.00) ->
Yes
*
Item 3: Shredded Cheese costs $3.98. ($3.98 is less than $10.00) ->
Yes
* *Result:* All three items are in the budget.
Problem 2
*
Budget: $2.00
*
Item 1: Penne Pasta costs $1.38. ($1.38 is less than $2.00) ->
Yes

Item 2: Butter costs $3.99. ($3.99 is more than $2.00) -> No
*
Item 3: Jar of Pickles costs $1.20. ($1.20 is less than $2.00) ->

Problem 3
*
Budget: $5.00
