(note: subtract the $64 before you take 150 percent, then add the $64 back in to get the new total!

Answer 1

First, subtract the comprehensive coverage from the total
$809.50 - $64 = $745.5
Next, we take the 150% of the total
$745.5 (1.50) = $1118.25
Then, we add the $64 back to get the new total\
$1118.25 + $64 = $1182.25
