Answer:

The cost of insurance change 29,6% between 2015 and 2018.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start by defining C as the cost of insurance in 2015.

Then, we know it rose 13% between 2015 and 2016:

C_{16}=(1+0.13)*C=1.13C

It then dropped by 2% between 2016 and 2017:

C_{17}=(1-0.02)*C_{16}=0.98*(1.13C)=1.1074C

And then it increases by 17% between 2017 and 2018:

C_{18}=1.17C_{17}=1.17*1.1074C=1.295658C

We can conclude the cost of insurance change 29,6% between 2015 and 2018.
