Answer 1

To estimate the monthly expenses, we can break it down as follows:

1. Rent: $978
2. Phone charges: $54.89
3. Groceries: $93 per week

First, we need to find the monthly cost of groceries. Since there are about 4.33 weeks in a month, the monthly grocery cost would be:

\[
93 \text{ (groceries per week)} \times 4.33 \text{ (weeks)} \approx 402.69
\]

Now, let's add up all of the expenses:

\[
\text{Total Expenses} = \text{Rent} + \text{Phone Charges} + \text{Groceries}
\]
\[
\text{Total Expenses} = 978 + 54.89 + 402.69 \approx 1,435.58
\]

Based on the options provided, the closest estimate of your monthly expenses would be **$1,433.00**.
