The answer is $36.

B - budget
So the calculation is as following:
[tex]B= \frac{1}{2}B + 12.27 + \frac{3.82}{ \frac{2}{3} } = \frac{1}{2}B + 12.27 + \frac{3.82*3}{2}= \frac{1}{2}B + 12.27 +5.73[/tex]
[tex]B= \frac{1}{2} B + 18[/tex]
[tex]B- \frac{1}{2}B = 18 [/tex]
[tex] \frac{1}{2}B = 18 [/tex]
[tex]B = 18*2=36[/tex]
