A good estimate would be $1450 Round $576 × 2 (biweekly)to $1200, $44.95 to $50, $105.88 to $100 and $98 to $100.
$1200+ 50+100+100= $1450

Answer:

The monthly expenses will be $ 1760.17.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Bi-weekly mortgage is $576.

⇒ 2 weeks mortgage = $ 576

⇒ 14 days mortgage = $ 576

⇒ 1 day mortgage = [tex]\frac{576}{14}[/tex]

⇒ 30 days mortgage = [tex]\frac{30\times 576}{14}=\$ 1234.28571429\approx \$1234.29[/tex]

Hence, monthly mortgage is approximately $1234.29.

Also, monthly electric bill = $ 105.88,

Now, Groceries bill of one week = $ 98

Groceries bill of 1 day = $ 14

Groceries bill of 30 day or 1 month = $ 420,

Therefore, the total monthly expenses = monthly mortgage + monthly electric bill +  Groceries bill

= $ 1234.29 + $ 105.88 + $ 420

= $ 1760.17
