$12,500
$12,250
$10,750
$11,000

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 deductible to the check amount.

Step2: Calculate total amount

The formula is: Total amount = Check amount + Deductible. So we have $11,500 + $750.
Calculating that: $11,500 + $750 = $12,250.

Answer:

$12,250
