Rose Collins insured her pizza shop with an $80,000 fire insurance policy at a $.98 annual rate per $100. Seven months later she canceled her policy because she failed to correct a fire hazard. What was Rose's cost for the 7-month coverage?
Answer = $457.33
Explanation:
Insuarance policy = $80000
Rate = $0.98 per $100
Therefore annual cost = (80000/100) × 0.98 = $784
Hence, cost for 7 months = 784/12 × 7 = $457.33
