Sagot :

To determine Cindy's new annual premium including the good driver discount, let's go through the step-by-step calculation:

1. Calculate the total original premium costs:

- Bodily Injury premium: \[tex]$31.75 - Property Damage premium: \$[/tex]120.50
- Collision premium: \[tex]$275.75 - Comprehensive premium: \$[/tex]100.00

Adding these amounts together:

[tex]\[ \text{Total Premium} = 31.75 + 120.50 + 275.75 + 100.00 = 528.00 \][/tex]

2. Determine the discount amount:

- The discount rate is 4.5%, or 0.045 in decimal form.

Calculate the discount amount by multiplying the total premium by the discount rate:

[tex]\[ \text{Discount Amount} = 528.00 \times 0.045 = 23.76 \][/tex]

3. Calculate the new premium after applying the discount:

Subtract the discount amount from the total premium:

[tex]\[ \text{New Premium} = 528.00 - 23.76 = 504.24 \][/tex]

Thus, Cindy's new annual premium after applying the discount is:

[tex]\[ \boxed{504.24} \][/tex]

So, the correct answer is:
a. [tex]$\$[/tex]504.24$
