A. [tex]$\$[/tex] 85[tex]$

B. $[/tex]\[tex]$ 95$[/tex]

C. [tex]$\$[/tex] 110$



Answer :

Let's go through the steps to determine how much money Yoko will have left over for her savings each month.

1. Calculate Total Income:
- Earnings from babysitting: [tex]$125 - Earnings from bagging groceries: $[/tex]55

Total income can be calculated as:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Income} = 125 + 55 = 180 \][/tex]

2. Calculate Total Expenses:
- Entertainment: [tex]$25 - Snacks: $[/tex]10
- Transportation: [tex]$25 - Clothing: $[/tex]35

Total expenses can be calculated as:
[tex]\[ \text{Total Expenses} = 25 + 10 + 25 + 35 = 95 \][/tex]

3. Calculate Money Left Over for Savings:
- Subtract total expenses from total income to find out how much money is left for savings each month:
[tex]\[ \text{Money Left for Savings} = \text{Total Income} - \text{Total Expenses} = 180 - 95 = 85 \][/tex]

Therefore, Yoko will have [tex]$\$[/tex]85[tex]$ left over for her savings each month. The amount available for savings is $[/tex]\[tex]$85$[/tex].

Among the given options ([tex]$\$[/tex] 85[tex]$, $[/tex]\[tex]$ 95$[/tex], [tex]$\$[/tex] 110[tex]$), the correct amount Yoko will have left over each month for savings is $[/tex]\[tex]$85$[/tex].
