Answer 1

1300.00 rent

    50.00 phone

  500.00 groceries  (115 x 4 weeks = 460.)

------------

1850.00  (I'd say about 2000.00)

Answer 2

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.
