Respuesta :

235.24 is the answer is d

Answer:

A. $336.16

Step-by-step explanation:

The payment per $100 can be set up as a ratio:  

[tex]\frac{3.52}{100}[/tex]

Let the unknown payment be x. Now setting up the ratio over the full value:  

[tex]\frac{x}{9550}[/tex]

Set them equal and solve for x:  

[tex]\frac{3.52}{100}=\frac{x}{9550}[/tex]

1[tex]100x=33616[/tex]

This gives x = $336.16

Therefore, the answer is option A.
