A school's Latino Student Union has a budget of \( \$ 240 \) for the year. The club wants to spend \( 40 \% \) of their budget on snacks. How much money should they spend on snacks?

To determine how much the Latino Student Union should allocate for snacks, you can calculate 40% of their total budget of \$240. **Calculation:** \[ \text{Amount for snacks} = \text{Total Budget} \times \text{Percentage for snacks} \] \[ \text{Amount for snacks} = \$240 \times 0.40 = \$96 \] **Conclusion:** The club should spend **\$96** on snacks.
