Answer:

Correct answer: $1800

Step-by-step explanation:

Medical payments insurance TOTAL: $1000

Injuries sustained: $1100

John will get $1000 for medical

$900 worth of damage to vehicle LESS John's $100 deductible: $800 due from ins co.

$1000 med pay + $800 damage pay= $1800

If John is at fault, he must pay the deductible amount of $100 himself.

As given,

John has an automobile medical payments insurance in the amount of $1,000. So, he will get $1000 complete for his medical bills by the insurance company. Also, he has done  $900 worth of damage to Sam's car, but the company will pay him $800 for this.

Hence, total amount becomes = 1000+800 = $1800

So, the insurance company will pay John a sum of $1800.
