The Main dish: Money Matters

Your task is to create a sample budget for your

friends shopping trip. Your friend has exactly
$120 to spend on this trip. The shopping list
includes: food, clothing, shoes, games, books,
school supplies, and posters. Your friend has said
that he or she does not want to spend more than
1/3 of the budget on clothing, and wants to spend
exactly 1/6 of the budget on school supplies, but
is flexible about everything else. All money has to
be spent. Create a poster for your sample budget,
including the fraction and dollar amount of each
item on the shopping list. [individual] Initials: _______
