Answer 2

The correct answer is:

D) $383.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the premium increased by 18%, that means Jordy will be paying 100% of what he paid before plus another 18%; 100%+18% = 118%.

To find 118% of $325, first we convert the percent to a decimal. 118% = 118/100 = 1.18.

Next we multiply: 1.18(325) = $383.50.
