Mia has a busy week 7 ahead. She's been invited to a salsa club night for her best friend's birthday. It will cost her £20 in train fares to get there, £10 for the entry fee, and she plans to take £50 spending money, like her other friends. It's also her mum's birthday that week. Mia wants to buy her mum a trilogy book set that she's been wanting as a birthday present, which costs £30.What should Mia do?

Pretend she has a headache and cancel going to her friend's party and spend £30 on the book set.

Do both...it's her best friend so why not splash out and spend the full £50 too.

Get the bus to the salsa club for £5, pay the entry fee, limit spending to £20 and buy the book set.
