To determine how much Carlos will have left at the end of the month, we'll follow these steps:

1. Total his expenses:
Carlos spends money in different categories. We need to add up these expenses:
- Groceries: \[tex]$250 - Rent: \$[/tex]600
- Bills: \[tex]$220 - Entertainment: \$[/tex]50
- Gas: \[tex]$100 \[ \text{Total Expenses} = 250 + 600 + 220 + 50 + 100 \] 2. Calculate the total expenses: \[ \text{Total Expenses} = 250 + 600 + 220 + 50 + 100 = 1220 \] 3. Subtract the total expenses from his earnings: Carlos's total earnings for the month are \$[/tex]1,400. We need to subtract his total expenses from his earnings to find out how much he has left.

[tex]\[ \text{Money Left} = 1400 - 1220 \][/tex]

4. Calculate the remaining money:

[tex]\[ \text{Money Left} = 1400 - 1220 = 180 \][/tex]

Therefore, Carlos will have \[tex]$180 left at the end of the month if he stays within his budget. The correct answer is: \[ \$[/tex] 180
\]
