Answer 1

Okay, so the insurance cover 10/20 which means 50/100 (50%). 
So to find 50%, you just divide your price by 2. 
Arthur : $16,000 / 2 = $8,000.
Fred : $8,000 / 2 = $4,000.
Now, you have to add the two amount to find the total amount that the insurance will pay. 
Total : $4,000 + $8,000 = $12,000. 
Hope I helped you !

Answer 2

Answer:

The total amount to be paid = $18000

Step-by-step explanation:

Arthur:  $10000

Fred:  $8000

Total: $18000

The numbers 10/20 means 10 stands for $10000 and 20 stands for $20000. In total $20000 will be given to all persons.

So, Fred will get a maximum of $10000, but his bill is $8000, so he will get $8000. And Arthur will get $10000 as this is liability limit. So, both will get a total of $18000.
