Jerome uses the formula, P = DB, to find his approximate six-month premium when his driver risk factor, D, is 1.02 and the basic six-month premium is $500.

What will his monthly premium be?
a. 85
b. 270.60
c 300.50
d. 332

1 answer

b. 270.60

Explanation:
Given P = DB, where D = 1.02 and B = $500, we can substitute the values into the formula to find the premium:

P = (1.02)($500)
P = $510

Since the premium is for a six-month period, to find the monthly premium, we divide the total premium by 6:

$510 / 6 = $85

Therefore, Jerome's monthly premium will be $85.
