gary has $10,000 worth of property damage insurance. he collides with two parked cars and causes $12,000 worth of damage. how much money must gary pay after the insurance company pays its share?

Answer

# Explanation: ## Step1: Determine insurance - company payment The insurance company will pay up to the limit of the policy. Since Gary has a $10,000 - worth property - damage insurance policy and the damage is $12,000, the insurance company will pay $10,000. ## Step2: Calculate Gary's payment To find out how much Gary must pay, we subtract the amount the insurance company pays from the total damage. Let $x$ be the amount Gary pays. Then $x = 12000−10000$. $x = 2000$ # Answer: $2000$
