Sagot :

Certainly! Let's go through the steps to solve the problem.

1. Identify the relevant data from the table:
- For a household with a credit score of 525 (which falls under the range 300-579):
- The total amount paid: \[tex]$14,945.00 - For a household with a credit score of 675 (which falls under the range 670-739): - The total amount paid: \$[/tex]10,554.00

2. Calculate the difference between the total amounts paid by the two households:
- We subtract the total amount paid by the household with a credit score of 675 from the total amount paid by the household with a credit score of 525.

[tex]\[ \text{Difference} = \text{\$14,945.00} - \text{\$10,554.00} \][/tex]

3. Perform the subtraction:
[tex]\[ \text{Difference} = 14,945.00 - 10,554.00 = 4,391 \][/tex]

4. Conclusion:
- The household with a credit score of 525 will pay [tex]\( \$4,391 \)[/tex] more compared to the household with a credit score of 675.

Thus, the correct answer is:

[tex]\[ \boxed{\$4,391} \][/tex]
