To determine how much Benito's family will save monthly by moving from Los Angeles to Oakland, we need to compare the total monthly costs in both cities. Let's break down the calculations step-by-step.
First, we add up the costs for each budget item in each city separately.
### Oakland:
1. Housing: \[tex]$565
2. Food: \$[/tex]545
3. Health Care: \[tex]$245
4. Taxes: \$[/tex]450
5. Other Necessities: \[tex]$350
\[
\text{Total Cost in Oakland} = 565 + 545 + 245 + 450 + 350 = \$[/tex]2155
\]
### Los Angeles:
1. Housing: \[tex]$1200
2. Food: \$[/tex]655
3. Health Care: \[tex]$495
4. Taxes: \$[/tex]625
5. Other Necessities: \[tex]$495
\[
\text{Total Cost in Los Angeles} = 1200 + 655 + 495 + 625 + 495 = \$[/tex]3470
\]
Next, we calculate the monthly savings by subtracting the total cost in Oakland from the total cost in Los Angeles.
[tex]\[
\text{Monthly Savings} = \text{Total Cost in Los Angeles} - \text{Total Cost in Oakland}
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
\text{Monthly Savings} = 3470 - 2155 = \$1315
\][/tex]
### Conclusion:
By relocating from Los Angeles to Oakland, Benito's family will save \[tex]$1315 each month. Therefore, the correct answer is:
\[
\$[/tex]1315
\]
