Answer:

The answer is option D $383.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial annual renters insurance premium = $325

When Jordy moves to ground floor, the premium increases by 18%. So, the amount by which premium increases is =
(18)/(100)*325= 58.50

So, the new premium amount becomes =
325+58.50 = $383.50

Hence, the answer is $383.50
