Step-by-step explanation:
1. The policy rates in the table are for $25000 of insurance. Lydia wants $100,000 of insurance, which is 4 times the amount quoted in the table. Hence her premium will be 4 times the quoted premium. Her spot in the table is in the age 24–30 row and the Female Non-Smoker column. Lydia's premium will be 4×$3.50, or $14 per month.
She wants 2 times the amount quoted in the table ($50,000) of insurance for her spouse, so the premium will be 2 times that quoted in the table. His spot in the table is in the age Under 24 row and the Male Smoker column. The premium for his insurance will be 2×$4.50, or $9 per month.
The total of the two premiums will be $14 = 9 = $23 per month.
