Let's break down the income and expenses to find Adam's net income step-by-step.
First, let’s list Adam's monthly income and expenses:
Income:
- Wages: \[tex]$3,100
Expenses:
- Food: \$[/tex]150
- Rent: \[tex]$850
- Transportation: \$[/tex]110
- Clothing: \[tex]$70
- Medical Insurance: \$[/tex]90
- Car Insurance: \[tex]$40
Step 1: Calculate Total Expenses
We need to sum up all the expenses:
\[
\text{Total Expenses} = 150 + 850 + 110 + 70 + 90 + 40
\]
The total expenses amount to \$[/tex]1,310.
Step 2: Calculate Net Income
Now, we subtract the total expenses from the income to find the net income:
[tex]\[
\text{Net Income} = \text{Income} - \text{Total Expenses}
\][/tex]
Substituting the given values:
[tex]\[
\text{Net Income} = 3100 - 1310 = 1790
\][/tex]
Therefore, the correct manner to calculate Adam's net income is:
[tex]\[
\$ 3,100 - \$ 1,310 = \$ 1,790
\][/tex]
Thus, the correct option is:
[tex]\[
\$ 3,100 - \$ 1,310 = \$ 1,790
\][/tex]
