Solution

First, let's calculate the total cost of the items Kathleen wants to buy.

The jump rope costs 4,theboardgamecosts4, the board game costs 7, and the playground ball costs $9.

So, 4(jumprope)+4 (jump rope) + 7 (board game) + 9(playgroundball)=9 (playground ball) = 20.

This means Kathleen needs $20 in total to buy all the items.

Now, let's see how much money Kathleen already has.

She has saved 10fromherallowance,andherunclegaveher10 from her allowance, and her uncle gave her 3.

So, 10(allowance)+10 (allowance) + 3 (money from uncle) = $13.

This means Kathleen already has $13.

To find out how much more money Kathleen needs, we subtract the money she already has from the total cost of the items.

So, 20(totalcost)−20 (total cost) - 13 (money Kathleen has) = $7.

Therefore, Kathleen needs $7 more to buy the jump rope, the game, and the ball.
