Answer:

His adjusted basis in the residence after the tornado is $85,800.

Explanation:

adjusted basis after tornado = adjusted basis before tornado + cost of repairing - insurance reimbursement - deductible casualty loss

                                                = $80,000 +$30,000 - $22,000 - $2,200

                                                 = $85,800

Therefore, His adjusted basis in the residence after the tornado is $85,800.
