Answer:

$101

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]y = 8.50x + 33[/tex]

[tex]x \to[/tex] age above 40

Required

Insurance for 48 years old

First, we solve for x

[tex]x = 48 - 40[/tex]

[tex]x = 8[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]y = 8.50x + 33[/tex]

[tex]y = 8.50 * 8 + 33[/tex]

[tex]y = 68 + 33[/tex]

[tex]y = 101[/tex]
