To determine the total amount that Benjamin has made in payments over the 7 months, we need to sum up the payments he made each month. Observing the table, the payments he made in each of the 7 months are listed in the "Payment received" column.

Let's tally these up step-by-step:

1. In the first month, Benjamin made a payment of \[tex]$0.00. 2. In the second month, Benjamin made a payment of \$[/tex]48.00.
3. In the third month, Benjamin made a payment of \[tex]$47.80. 4. In the fourth month, Benjamin made a payment of \$[/tex]47.60.
5. In the fifth month, Benjamin made a payment of \[tex]$47.40. 6. In the sixth month, Benjamin made a payment of \$[/tex]47.20.
7. In the seventh month, Benjamin made a payment of \[tex]$47.01. Now, we simply sum these amounts to find the total payments over the 7 months: \[ 0.00 + 48.00 + 47.80 + 47.60 + 47.40 + 47.20 + 47.01 = 285.01 \] Therefore, the total amount that Benjamin has made in payments over the 7 months is \$[/tex]285.01.

The correct answer is:
A. \$285.01
