Budget a Small Event

A budget is a plan for the money a project or event will spend and earn. Real organisers always make a budget before they buy anything. In this lesson you will plan a small event — a class party, a bake sale, a sports tournament — and use math to check if your idea actually works. Budgets keep you out of trouble: if expenses are higher than revenue, you lose money.
