Acasa insurance company offers several plans for home insurance. plan a has a $700 yearly premium with a $3,000 deductible. plan b has a $1,200 yearly premium with a $1,000 deductible. suppose a customer insured by acasa has plan b. this customer makes a fire damage claim of $19,000. the customer has been with the company for three years. how much has the customer gained or lost during this time?

-$4,600
$14,400
$18,000
$17,000

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

$14,400

Step-by-step 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.

1,407.5 hours

step-by-step explanation:

we first convert all the time to hours and then sum them up.

there are 24 hours in 1 day, in 58 days, there are 24 x 58 = 1,392 hours.

there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus, 30 minutes will be equivalent to 30 / 60 = 0.5 hours.

therefore, the number of hours it will take mercury to complete a full rotation is 1,392 + 15 + 0.5 = 1,407.5 hours
