Answer :
To determine how much can be spent on food for the month from a total income of [tex]$600, we first need to consider the budgeted amounts for the other categories:
- Cell Phone: $[/tex]65
- Entertainment: [tex]$95 - College Savings: $[/tex]200
- Car Expenses (Gas, Insurance): [tex]$160 Let's calculate the total expenses for these categories: \[ \text{Total expenses} = \$[/tex]65 + \[tex]$95 + \$[/tex]200 + \[tex]$160 \] Now let's add these amounts together: \[ \$[/tex]65 + \[tex]$95 = \$[/tex]160 \]
[tex]\[ \$160 + \$200 = \$360 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \$360 + \$160 = \$520 \][/tex]
The total expenses for categories other than food is \[tex]$520. Next, we subtract the total non-food expenses from the total income to find the remaining amount available for food: \[ \text{Available for food} = \$[/tex]600 - \[tex]$520 = \$[/tex]80 \]
Therefore, the amount that can be spent on food for the month is \[tex]$80. The correct answer is: c. $[/tex]\[tex]$ 80$[/tex] can be spent on food.

[tex]\[ \$160 + \$200 = \$360 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \$360 + \$160 = \$520 \][/tex]
The total expenses for categories other than food is \[tex]$520. Next, we subtract the total non-food expenses from the total income to find the remaining amount available for food: \[ \text{Available for food} = \$[/tex]600 - \[tex]$520 = \$[/tex]80 \]
