Answer 1

Answer:

£481.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Brian pays £466.98 a year on his car insurance.

The insurance company increases the price by 3.2%.

Thus,

£466.98 - 100%

£x - 3.2%

Write a proportion:

$\dfrac{466.98}{x}=\dfrac{100}{3.2}$

Cross multiply:

$100x=466.98\cdot 3.2\\ \\100x=1,494.336\\ \\x=14.94336\approx 14.94$

So, Brian has to pay  £466.98 +  £14.94 =  £481.92 now
