John’s birthday party budget is $124.00. He spent $43.50 for sandwiches, $26.25 for juice, and $17.25 for prizes. How much money is left for other expenses?

Question

Think of the entire budget as a pie of pizza. Each expense is a "slice" that you're taking (subtracting) from the pie

Does that help?
