To determine the amount of money Yoko will have left over for her savings each month, we need to follow these steps:

1. Calculate Total Earnings:
Yoko earns money from babysitting and bagging groceries.
- Earnings from babysitting: \$125
- Earnings from bagging groceries: \$55

Total earnings can be calculated by adding these two amounts.
[tex]\[ \[tex]$125 + \$[/tex]55 = \$180
\][/tex]

2. Calculate Total Expenses:
Yoko has expenses in several categories: entertainment, snacks, transportation, and clothing.
- Entertainment: \$25
- Snacks: \$10
- Transportation: \$25
- Clothing: \$35

Total expenses can be calculated by adding these amounts.
[tex]\[ \[tex]$25 + \$[/tex]10 + \[tex]$25 + \$[/tex]35 = \$95
\][/tex]

3. Calculate Amount Available for Savings:
The amount available for savings is found by subtracting the total expenses from the total earnings.
[tex]\[ \[tex]$180 - \$[/tex]95 = \$85
\][/tex]

So, Yoko will have \$85 left over for her savings each month.

Thus, the correct option is:
[tex]\[ \$85 \][/tex]
