Total monthly saving = $1,315

Explanation:

Given:

                         Oakland     Los Angeles  

Cost Housing       $565        $1200

Food                     $545        $655

Health Care          $245        $495

Taxes                    $450         $625

Other Necessities $350        $495

Find:

Total monthly saving

Computation:

Saving in house = $1200 - $565 = $635

Saving in food = $655 - $545 = $110

Saving in health care = $495 - $245 = $250

Saving in taxes = $625 - $450 = $175

Saving in necessities = $495 - $350 = $145

Total monthly saving = $635+$110+$250+$175+$145

Total monthly saving = $1,315
