Question: 47

5. A house was valued at $83,000 and insured for 80% of that amount. Find the yearly premium if it is figured at $0.45 per hundred dollars of value.

  • A. $84
  • B. $253
  • C. $299
  • D. $664

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

The correct answer is (C). The amount the house was insured for is 80% of $83,000, or $66,400. The insurance is calculated at 45€ per hundred, or $4.50 per thousand of value. Since there are 66.4 thousands of value, 66.4 × $4.50 per thousand equals the yearly premium of $298.80.
