Step 1: Calculate the total amount spent

Add the amount spent on materials and labor: \[ \$23,830.89 + \$14,054.23 = \$37,885.12 \]

Step 2: Subtract the total spent from the initial budget

Subtract the total amount spent from the initial budget to find the remaining amount: \[ \$66,719.47 - \$37,885.12 = \$28,834.35 \]

Step 3: Present the final result

The remaining amount in the budget is: \[ \$28,834.35 \]

Final Answer
