Question

Rachel has $25000 worth of property damage insurance. She causes $32000 worth of damage to a sports car in an accident. How much of the damages will the insurance company have to pay?

Answer 1

If you would like to know how much of the damages will the insurance company have to pay, you can calculate this using the following steps:

x% of $32000 is $25000
x% * 32000 = 25000
x/100 * 32000 = 25000
x * 320 = 25000
x = 25000 / 320
x = 78.125%

The insurance company will have to pay 78.125% of the damages.
