Answer:

George and Mary can spend money on frozen pizza and popsicles with an extra $2.06 left.

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. First you add all the essential purchases to get $112.53
  2. Then you subtract $130 by $112.53 and get $17.47 as the amount George and Mary can spend on Extra purchases.
  3. Now you can use a variety of the Extra items to subtract by $17.47. I chose the frozen pizza and popsicles.
  4. Subtract $17.47-$11.42(frozen pizza)-$3.99 (popsicles)
  5. You should get an extra $2.06 that you cannot spend on any extra purchases.
  6. George and Mary can spend money on frozen pizza and popsicles.
