Debt - $300

c) $800

Answer 1

After subtracting Chris's total monthly expenses of $2,600 from his initial budget of $3,200, Chris is left with $600 at the end of the month.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how much money Chris is left with after his monthly expenses, we need to subtract the total expenses from his beginning budget. Chris's expenses include rent ($1,000), car payment and gas ($300), utilities ($250), food ($400), debt ($300), and personal ($350).

The total expenses can be calculated as follows:

• Rent: $1,000
• Car payment/gas: $300
• Utilities: $250
• Food: $400
• Debt: $300
• Personal: $350

Adding these expenses together gives us:

$1,000 + $300 + $250 + $400 + $300 + $350 = $2,600

Subtracting the total expenses from Chris's initial budget:

$3,200 - $2,600 = $600

So, Chris is left with $600 at the end of the month, which corresponds to option (a).

Answer 2

After subtracting all of Chris's monthly expenses from his initial budget of $3,200, he is left with $600.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chris starts with a monthly budget of $3,200. To find out how much he is left with after his expenses, we simply subtract all of his monthly expenses from his starting budget. Chris's expenses include:

• Rent: $1,000
• Car payment/gas: $300
• Utilities: $250
• Food: $400
• Debt: $300
• Personal: $350

Adding up all the expenses ($1,000 + $300 + $250 + $400 + $300 + $350), we get a total of $2,600. So, to calculate what Chris has left over, we subtract his total expenses from his monthly budget:

$3,200 (budget) - $2,600 (expenses) = $600

Therefore, Chris is left with $600 after all his expenses are paid.
