Question

Kari's renter's insurance is set to increase by 10% per month after she files a theft claim. If her premium is $35 per month, what

will her new premium be?

$45 per month
$31.50 per month
$38 per month
$38.50 per month

Answer 1

Answer: $38.50 per month

Step-by-step explanation: We have to find 10% of 35 and add it to 35. This is because 10% of 35 is the amount that will increase so adding that to the original 35 will be her new premium. 10% of 35 is $3.50 and $3.50 + $35 is $38.50. This means her new premium is $38.50 per month.
