Answer:

a. $1,666.25 is the answer.

Explanation:

Let Rachel’s annual homeowners insurance premium be = x

Given is :

Insurance policy costs $0.43 per $100.

Price of the home = $387500

The relation can be shown as:


(0.43)/(100)=(x)/(387500)


100x=0.43*387500


100x=166625


x=1666.25 dollars

Therefore, Rachel’s annual homeowners insurance premium is $1666.25
