Answer 1

Answer : Option C) $80 can be spent on food.

Explanation : As the income is $600, and the monthly budget plan includes;

$ 65 for cell phone + $ 95 for entertainment + $ 200 college savings + $ 160 for car expenses  = which comes to $ 520

we can subtract this from the income; $600 - $ 520 = $ 80.

Therefore, the amount that can be spent on food is $80.

Answer 2

: $80 can be spent on food. 65 + 95 + 200 + 160 = 520 600 - 520 = 80
