Answer:

<h2>There are 263 cases of canned food at the end of the month in the store room.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beginning of the month, the store room has 354 cases of canned food.

During the time span of 1 month, the grocery store removed a total of (87 + 53 + 42 + 67) = 249 cases of canned food.

The storeroom also received two new shipments of 80 cases each that is a total of (80 + 80) = 160 cases of canned food.

At the end of the month, there are (354 - 249 + 160) = 263 cases of canned food in the store room.
