The town’s annual budget totals $32 million. If half of the budget goes towards policing and $12 million goes towards education. How much money is left for managing public spaces? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
The annual budget for policing is 32 / 2 = $16 million. The combined budget for education and policing is 16 + 12 = $28 million. There is 32 - 28 = $4 million to manage public spaces. So, the answer is 4.
