Answer:

$5750

Step-by-step explanation:

Property damage insurance = $20,000

Comprehensive insurance = $5,000

Deductible = $500

Amount of Property damage caused by him by hitting a parked car = $4,500

Amount of Damage caused to his own car = $1,750

Since, the property damage of $4500 is within the property damage insurance limit of $20,000 and own damage of $1,750 is also within the comprehensive insurance limit of $5000, he'll be paid the entire amount excluding the compulsory deductible of $500.

So,

The amount paid by the insurance company to fix both cars = 4500+1750 - 500

= 6250 - 500

= $5750
