Answer:

Cost recovered from driver = $49500

Explanation:

Since the owner suffered $10000 damage

The passenger suffered$100000 damage

Jury determined that driver should carry 45% of the damages

So therefore;

Total cost of damages = 100000 + 10000 = $ 110000

Cost of damage injured by driver = (45/100) * $110000 = $49500
