Sagot :

To determine how much can be spent on food for the month, let's first analyze the given data:

1. Monthly Income: \[tex]$600 2. Expenses: - Food: \$[/tex]65
- Entertainment: \[tex]$95 - College Savings: \$[/tex]200
- Car Expenses (Gas, Insurance): \[tex]$160 First, we need to calculate the total expenses by summing all the individual expenses: \[ \text{Total Expenses} = 65 + 95 + 200 + 160 = 520 \] Next, we subtract the total expenses from the monthly income to find the remaining money: \[ \text{Remaining Money} = 600 - 520 = 80 \] Considering the possible answers for how much can be spent on food: a. \$[/tex]210
b. \[tex]$145 c. \$[/tex]80
d. \[tex]$260 From our calculations, we see that the remaining money is \$[/tex]80. Thus, the correct amount that can still be spent on food for the month is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{80} \][/tex]

So, the best answer from the choices provided is:

c. \$80
