Question

Sue Jones is insured for bodily injury in the amount of 10/20. She is at fault in an accident in which Albert Smith is injured. Also injured in the accident is a pedestrian, Sam Dickson. Albert's medical expenses total $12,000, Sam's come to $8,000. How much will the insurance pay? a. for Albert b. for Sam c. total

Answer 1

For this case, what you should know is that Sue Jones insurance covers half of the expenses. Equivalently, her insurance covers:
 10/20 = 1/2 = 0.5
 Therefore, we have then that
 a. for Albert 
 0.5 * (12000) = $ 6000
 b. for Sam 
 0.5 * (8000) = $ 4000
 c. total
 The sum of the results of parts a and b
 $ 6000 + $ 4000 = $ 10,000
 answer
 $ 6000
 $ 4000
 $ 10,000

Albert is $12,000
