1. **State the problem:** We have a budget of $9600 for a product launch event. Various expenses reduce this budget, and we want to determine if the event cost was more than $200 under budget to qualify for a bonus. 2. **List the expenses and remaining funds:** - Venue: $-2400$ - Catering: $-2880$ - Beverage: $-1440$ - Photographer: $-1056$ - Furniture Rental: $-768$ - Decorations: $-384$ - Invitations: $-480$ - Remaining Funds: $192$ 3. **Calculate total expenses:** $$\text{Total Expenses} = 2400 + 2880 + 1440 + 1056 + 768 + 384 + 480 = 9408$$ 4. **Calculate actual spending:** $$\text{Actual Spending} = \text{Budget} - \text{Remaining Funds} = 9600 - 192 = 9408$$ 5. **Check if the event was under budget by more than $200:** $$\text{Under Budget Amount} = \text{Budget} - \text{Actual Spending} = 9600 - 9408 = 192$$ 6. Since $192 < 200$, the event was under budget but by less than $200$. **Final answer:** C No, the event was under budget by less than 200
