answer

1385

explanation

to find the total, subtract the amount they earned by the amount they spend

total = earned - spent

earned

each week, Mr. Smith earns 1900 and and his earns 1150, so add these values together to find the total amount they earn

earned = 1900 + 1150

earned = 3050

spent

they spend money on food, gas, mortgage, and savings, so add these values together to find the total amount they spend

spent = food + gas + mortgage + savings

spent = 300 + 90 + 875 + 400

spent = 1665

total

now that we know how much they earn and spend, we can find the total

total = earned - spent

total = 3050 - 1665

total = 1385

every week they have 1385 left over
