Answer 2

The cheapest aspect of the party that Theresa can eliminate to keep, her account from overdrawing is catering.

Given to us,

Theresa's account balance = $708,

Purchase Cost ($) :

Decorations  =  $76.92,

Catering        =  $150.66,

Musicians      =  $242.15,

Refreshments= $123.36,

Venue            =  $260.47,

If we add all the expense,

Decorations  =  $76.92,

Catering        =  $150.66,

Musicians      =  $242.15,

Refreshments= $123.36,

Venue            =  $260.47,

Total expense=  $853.36

As we can see all the expenses are more than the Theresa's account balance. So, if we take the difference between the total expenses and Theresa's account balance.

Total expense - Theresa's account balance = $853.36 - $708 = $145.36

Therefore, we need to eliminate an expense that is more than $145.36.

thus, the only feasible option is to eliminate catering.

Hence, the cheapest aspect of the party that Theresa can eliminate to keep, her account from overdrawing is catering.
