4. Comprehensive: $38.90
5. Collision: $85.60

7. Loss of Use: $20.00

**Total for Sports Car (a):**
\[
57.50 + 49.50 + 18.20 + 38.90 + 85.60 + 2.00 + 20.00 = 271.70
\]

#### For the 2018 Minivan:

**Total for Minivan (b):**
\[
59.10 + 45.90 + 18.20 + 42.30 + 90.80 + 2.00 + 20.00 = 278.30
\]

### Total Premiums:

1. **Total for each vehicle (c):**
- **2015 Sports Car:** $271.70
- **2018 Minivan:** $278.30

2. **Total Six-Month Premium for all Vehicles (d):**

\]

3. **Total for Uninsured Motorist (not included in total above):**
- Uninsured motorist bodily injury declined; hence no additional premium.

### Final Summary:
- **Total for Sports Car (a):** $271.70
- **Total for Minivan (b):** $278.30
- **Total for 2015 Sports Car and 2018 Minivan (c):** $271.70 (Sports Car) + $278.30 (Minivan) = $550.00 (d)
- **Total for all vehicles for six months (e):** $550.00
