How much will Jill receive for repairs after slamming on her brakes and causing $1,050 in damages to her car with deductibles of $500 collision and $50 other-than-collision?

• A. $450
• B. $550
• C. $600
• D. $1,050

Answer: (B)

To calculate how much Jill will receive for repairs after her accident, we start with the total damage amount, which is $1,050. Since Jill has both a collision deductible of $500 and an other-than-collision deductible of $50, we need to determine which deductible applies to the damages incurred. In this case, since the damage was caused by slamming on her brakes, it falls under collision coverage. Therefore, the collision deductible of $500 applies. To find out the amount Jill will receive, we subtract the collision deductible from the total damages: $1,050 (total damages) - $500 (collision deductible) = $550. Since the other-than-collision deductible does not apply here, it is not subtracted from the damages in this scenario. Thus, Jill will receive $550 for the repairs to her car, making the answer correct.
