Let's solve this step-by-step to determine how much Carlos will have left at the end of the month if he stays within his budget.
1. List all the monthly expenses:
- Groceries: \[tex]$250
- Rent: \$[/tex]600
- Bills: \[tex]$220
- Entertainment: \$[/tex]50
- Gas: \[tex]$100
2. Calculate the total monthly expenses.
To find the total expenses, we need to sum up all the individual expenses.
\[
250 + 600 + 220 + 50 + 100 = 1220
\]
3. List the monthly earnings:
Carlos earned \$[/tex]1,400 for the month.
4. Calculate the money left after paying all expenses.
To find out how much money Carlos will have left, we subtract the total expenses from his earnings.
[tex]\[
1400 - 1220 = 180
\][/tex]
So, after accounting for all of his monthly expenses, Carlos will have \[tex]$180 left at the end of the month.
Thus, the correct answer is \$[/tex]180.
