Trying to prepare a budget, Daniel has done research and found that he spends an average of $180 on his phone/internet/cable service, $216 on his electric bill, and $296 on his health insurance premium. If he earns $3100 per month, estimate the amount of money he will have after paying these bills each month.




To estimate how much money Daniel will have left after paying his bills each month, we need to subtract his total monthly expenses from his monthly income.

### Step 1: Calculate Total Monthly Expenses
Add up the expenses for phone/internet/cable, electric bill, and health insurance:

\[
\text{Total Expenses} = 180 + 216 + 296 = 692 \text{ dollars}
\]

### Step 2: Subtract Total Expenses from Monthly Income
Subtract the total expenses from Daniel's monthly income:

\[
\text{Remaining Money} = 3100 - 692 = 2408 \text{ dollars}
\]

### Final Answer
Daniel will have approximately **$2,408** left after paying his bills each month.
