The answer is 14400 because (19000-1000)-(1200*3)=14400

Answer:

$14,400

Explanation:

The customer paid $3,600 in premiums for plan A during three years = $1,200 x 3

When the customer made the claim, he/she needed to pay $1,000 as deductible.

His total payments = $3,600 + $1,000 = $4,600

If the insurance company paid $19,000 for the fire, the customer gained $14,400.

If the customer had chosen plan B, he would have paid $2,100 in premiums for three years = $700 x 3

When the customer made the claim, he/she needed to pay $3,000 as deductible.

His/her total payments = $2,100 + $3,000 = $5,100 which is $500 more than plan A.
