Let's solve the problem step by step.

1. Identify the money Frank has already saved each month and calculate the total amount saved up to now:
- January: \[tex]$100 - February: \$[/tex]80
- March: \[tex]$50 2. Calculate the total amount Frank has saved by adding the amounts saved each month: \[ \text{Total Amount Saved} = \text{January Savings} + \text{February Savings} + \text{March Savings} \] \[ \text{Total Amount Saved} = 100 + 80 + 50 \] \[ \text{Total Amount Saved} = 230 \] 3. Determine the total amount needed for college, which is given as \$[/tex]1,800.

4. Calculate the remaining amount Frank needs to save by subtracting the total amount saved from the total amount needed:
[tex]\[ \text{Amount Needed} = \text{Total Amount Needed} - \text{Total Amount Saved} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Amount Needed} = 1800 - 230 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \text{Amount Needed} = 1570 \][/tex]

Therefore, Frank needs to save \[tex]$1,570 more to reach his goal of \$[/tex]1,800 for college.
