To find the total costs Nina incurs, add her insurance, utilities, and taxes.
C = $175 + $129 + $283 = $587
From her total budget, subtract this total to see the maximum house payment,
P = $2,250 - $587 = $1,663
Therefore, the choice should be letter B. It's House B because all other payments greatly exceed her budget.

A) House A

Her monthly expenses total $587, so we deduct that from her budget. This leaves $1,663, which means House A is her only affordable option.
