Answer:

$1,100

Explanation:

Given that

Earnings of Mr Jackson is $1,500

Earnings of his wife is $850

They need to set aside the following amounts

For foods, it would be $200

For gas, it would be $75

For Mortgage it would be $625

ANd, for savings, it would be $350

We need to find out the amount of money that they have left each week

So, the amount would be

= $1,500 + $850 - $200 - $75 - $625 - $350

= $1,100
