Budget B
C
Budget C
D
Budget D

Explanation

Tanisha’s monthly take-home income is $14,700 ÷ 12 = $1,225, so a budget with $1,470 income is not accurate. Budget B uses the correct income, covers her $500 rent and $120 for food and personal items, and sets aside $400 for college savings while allowing $150 for clothes. Its listed expenses total $1,170, leaving $55 unassigned. Budget D gives much more to clothes and less to savings, so it does not support her college goal as well.
