Trips $100.40

Answer 1

Estimation is not necessary if you have such EXACT values for all categories of expense--just ADD them.

 

Estimation would involve rounding each number and adding them (either mentally or on paper) using numbers such as

600, food

200, clothes

100, trips,

300, transport,

200 extras.
