b. coach j spends over $1200 for utilities, insurance, and savings.
c. coach j budgets $240 per month for groceries.
d. coach j pays more than $1110 for his house payment and cell phone

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate amount for each category

House payment: $3000\times35\% = 3000\times0.35=1050$;
Utilities: $3000\times10\%=3000\times0.1 = 300$;
Insurance: $3000\times15\%=3000\times0.15 = 450$;
Savings: $3000\times20\%=3000\times0.2=600$;
Groceries: $3000\times8\%=3000\times0.08 = 240$;
Car payment: $3000\times10\%=3000\times0.1 = 300$;
Cell - phone: $3000\times2\%=3000\times0.02=60$.

Step2: Analyze option A

Car payment is $300$, groceries is $240$, $300-240 = 60$, so Coach J pays $60$ more for car payment than groceries. Option A is supported.

Step3: Analyze option B

Utilities ($300$), insurance ($450$), savings ($600$), total for these three is $300 + 450+600=1350>1200$. Option B is supported.

Step4: Analyze option C

Groceries budget is $240$ per month. Option C is supported.

Step5: Analyze option D

House payment is $1050$, cell - phone cost is $60$, $1050+60 = 1110$. But we don't know if there are other costs combined with house payment and cell - phone in this context. And the statement says "pays more than $1110$ for his house payment and cell phone", which is not supported by the given percentage - based budget information.

Answer:

D. Coach J pays more than $1110$ for his house payment and cell phone.
