1300.00 rent
50.00 phone
500.00 groceries (115 x 4 weeks = 460.)
------------
1850.00 (I'd say about 2000.00)
Answer: $1764.88 is a good estimate of his monthly expenses.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Rent charges = $1258
Phone charges = $46.88
Groceries per week = $115
Number of weeks in a month = 4
So, Total groceries charges in a month is given by
\(115\times 4\\\\=\$460\)
So, total good estimate of monthly expenses would be
\(\$1258+\$46.88+\$460\\\\=\$1764.88\)
Hence, $1764.88 is a good estimate of his monthly expenses.
