To find Jerome's approximate six-month premium using the formula \( P = DB \), where \( D \) is the driver risk factor and \( B \) is the basic six-month premium:

Given:
- \( D = 1.02 \)
- \( B = 500 \)

First, calculate \( P \):

\[
P = DB = 1.02 \times 500 = 510
\]

Jerome's six-month premium is $510. To find the monthly premium, divide the six-month premium by 6:

\[
\text{Monthly Premium} = \frac{P}{6} = \frac{510}{6} = 85
\]

Thus, Jerome's monthly premium is **$85.00**.
