Answer: the answer is a


Explanation:

first it is saying that for every $100 the house is worth it would cost .25 and for every $100 of stuff in the house it would be .50


the house is $50,000 divide this by the $100 and you get 500 multiply this by .25 and you get $125

next, the stuff is worth $10,000 divide this by 100 and get $100, multiply this by.50 and get $50

finely add $125 and $50 to get $175


you could also write it in and equation like this: I=(.25x)+(.50y) where x is the amount of $100s per house value and y is the amount of $100s per stuff, I is the total insurence cost.


hope this helped :)

The correct answer is:

A. $175

If home insurance is 25 cents per $100, then .20 x 50k = 125.00

If contents insurance is 50 cents per $100, then .50 x 10k = 50.00

125 + 50 = 175

$175
