$161

$853

$970

$1,170

The correct answer is $970

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the old budget for clothing, let us first convert from percentage to monetary value, and this is done as follows:

Clothing = 18% of monthly income

where: monthly income = $6,500

∴ clothing = 18/100 × 6,500

= 0.18 × 6,500 = $1,170

old budget = $1,170

If the family decides to reduce its clothing budget by $200 a month, the new budget will be:

New budget = old budget - $200

= 1,170 - 200 = $970.

Therefore, the new budget will be $970
