Giada Aguirre · Answer 1

Spend

Explanation:

Since they have more than they'll be needing, they can afford to spend their money

419 - 350 = 69

They should not be spending more than $69 though

Hector Cortez · Answer 2

Spend

Explanation:

We see that there is $419 available to spend, and the "thing" that the class wants is only $350, which is far less than 419.

Because 419 > 350, the class has more than enough money to spend on the field trip. So, they don't need to save up more money; instead, they can spend it.
