Explanation:

Step1: Understand the problem

Josh received a check for $11,500 after paying a $750 deductible. To find the total amount he spent, we need to add the check amount and the deductible.

Step2: Calculate the total amount

The total amount spent is the sum of the insurance check and the deductible. So we calculate $11,500 + 750$.
$11,500 + 750 = 12,250$

Answer:

$12,250$ (corresponding to the option: $12,250$)
