Answer: The correct answer is choice D - $22.50 less.
Explanation: The first step to solve the problem is to total the amount that was budgeted and the amount spent. When adding the two columns together, the total amount budgeted was $179.50 and the actual amount spent was 157.00.
When you subtract the two numbers the answer is $22.50, which means that Ann spent $22.50 less than what she budgeted.
