A fund-raiser for the museum makes $44,609. The museum spent $9,081 on food and drinks. About how much money did the museum make after paying for food and drinks?

To find out how much money the museum made after paying for food and drinks, we need to subtract the expenses from the total amount raised.

Total raised = $44,609  
Expenses (food and drinks) = $9,081  

Money made after expenses = Total raised - Expenses  
Money made = $44,609 - $9,081 = $35,528

So, the museum made approximately **$35,528** after paying for food and drinks.
