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

1850.00 (I'd say about 2000.00)

Answer 2

Answer: $1764.88 is a good estimate of his monthly expenses.

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* 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.
