Answer:

a) $1961

b) $710

c) $2671

Explanation:

Bi-weekly mortgage & taxes: 718/2 weeks = 2 x 718 = $1436/month

Condo fees: $525/month

Electricity bill bi-monthly $320/2 weeks = 2 x 320 = $640/month

Water bill is quarterly, so 210/3 months. 210/3 = $70/month

a) housing expenses = mortgage, taxes, condo fees

1436 + 525 = $1961

b) utilities = electricity and water

640 + 70 = $710

c) all expenses listed

1961 + 710 = $2671
