Answer:

Total Insurance would be paid $16,000.

Explanation:

10/20 means $10,000 this is maximum coverage for bodily injury liability for each person/ $20,000 is the policy limit.

so

Vic will get $10,000 from the insurance company (the "per occurrence" limit) and Billy will get $6,000 because there's still an additional $10,000 left over for "policy limit".

So total Insurance would be paid $16,000.
