anton has filed a home insurance claim for various damages caused by a recent storm.

• roof repair: $3,250
• window replacements: $1,450
• water damage repair: $2,300

the insurance policy covers 80% of the total repair costs.
what is the total amount the insurance will cover for anton’s claim?
$5,600 $4,800 $7,200 $6,000

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total repair costs

First, sum up the costs of roof repair, window replacements, and water damage repair.
Roof repair: $\$3,250$, Window replacements: $\$1,450$, Water damage repair: $\$2,300$.
Total cost $= 3250 + 1450 + 2300 = 7000$.

Step2: Calculate insurance coverage

The insurance covers 80% of the total cost. So, we calculate 80% of 7000.
$80\%$ of $7000$ is $0.8\times7000 = 5600$.

Answer:

$5,600$
