Question

Most home insurance policies cover jewelry for $1,000 and silverware for $2,500 unless items are covered with additional insurance. If $4,700 worth of jewelry and $6,000 worth of silverware were stolen from a family, what amount of the claim would not be covered by insurance?

Answer 1

Answer: $7200

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that most home insurance policies cover jewelry for $1,000 and silverware for $2,500 unless items are covered with additional insurance. If $4,700 worth of jewelry and $6,000 worth of silverware were stolen from a family.

The amount of claim that would not be covered by the insurance will be:

= ($4,700 - 1,000) + ($6,000 - 2,500)

= $3,700 + $3,500

= $7,200
