Answer:Birthday Party Budget (₱3,000 limit)A) Food1. Spaghetti home bundle — pasta + sauce + ground meatQty 1 × ₱420 = ₱42020% promo → discount = 0.20 × 420 = ₱84Total = ₱420 − ₱84 = ₱3362. Fried chicken bucket (10 pcs)Tag price = ₱6995% student discount → 0.05 × 699 = ₱34.95Total = ₱699 − ₱34.95 = ₱664.053. Chocolate cake (8")Tag price = ₱65010% coupon → 0.10 × 650 = ₱65Total = ₱650 − ₱65 = ₱5854. Chips (4 packs)Unit = ₱45 → 4 × 45 = ₱180Buy 3, get 1 at 50% off → half of 45 = ₱22.50 offTotal = ₱180 − ₱22.50 = ₱157.50Food subtotal = ₱336 + ₱664.05 + ₱585 + ₱157.50 = ₱1,742.55B) Drinks1. Soda 1.5 L (3 bottles)Unit = ₱75 → 3 × 75 = ₱22510% multi-buy → 0.10 × 225 = ₱22.50Total = ₱225 − ₱22.50 = ₱202.502. Bottled water (12-pack) = ₱1203. Ice (2 bags) = 2 × ₱40 = ₱80Drinks subtotal = ₱202.50 + ₱120 + ₱80 = ₱402.50C) Party suppliesPaper plates (30s) = ₱70Paper cups (30s) = ₱60Napkins (100s) = ₱50Balloons (20 pcs) = ₱100“Happy Birthday” banner = ₱60Candles = ₱30Supplies sum = ₱70 + ₱60 + ₱50 + ₱100 + ₱60 + ₱30 = ₱3705% bundle discount → 0.05 × 370 = ₱18.50Supplies total = ₱370 − ₱18.50 = ₱351.50D) GiftHoodie (sale)Tag price = ₱55015% off → 0.15 × 550 = ₱82.50Gift total = ₱550 − ₱82.50 = ₱467.50E) Budget SummaryFood: ₱1,742.55Drinks: ₱402.50Supplies: ₱351.50Gift: ₱467.50Grand Total = ₱1,742.55 + ₱402.50 + ₱351.50 + ₱467.50 = ₱2,964.05Remaining buffer = ₱3,000 − ₱2,964.05 = ₱35.95F) Why these choices (smart financial decisions)Cook one main dish (spaghetti) to lower cost per person; the 20% promo makes it even cheaper while still feeding many.Chicken bucket adds a crowd-favorite protein; the 5% student discount keeps it within budget.Cake is the centerpiece of any birthday; a 10% coupon keeps the quality without overspending.Drinks mix of soda, water, and ice covers different preferences at low cost; the 10% multi-buy saves more.Supplies are basic and reusable/consumable; a 5% bundle discount trims costs.Gift (hoodie) is practical and memorable; 15% sale makes it affordable while leaving a small buffer for unexpected needs.G) Reflection (how I budgeted effectively)I started with a clear ₱3,000 limit and listed essentials in order of priority: food → drinks → supplies → gift. I looked for promos and discounts (20%, 15%, 10%, 5%) to reduce the total without sacrificing quality. Choosing one homemade main dish and pairing it with a discounted protein kept the menu satisfying but affordable. I also controlled the number of drinks and supplies to what we realistically need, then selected a useful gift on sale. Finally, I made sure the grand total (₱2,964.05) is under budget and kept a ₱35.95 buffer for any small price changes. This plan balances enjoyment, practicality, and cost control.Step-by-step explanation:have a nice day, kindly brainliest ;⁠)
