The party would cost $853.56 altogether, which is $145.56 more than Theresa has ($853.56 − $708 = $145.56). She must eliminate an item costing at least $145.56. Catering costs $150.66, the least among the listed items that covers the shortfall; refreshments cost only $123.36, so removing them would not be enough.
