Unit 3 Quiz Question

Can I have the equation for the following question:

Jim owns an auto and is involved in an accident. He suffers $4,000 in medical and $4,000 of lost income. How much does his insurance pay with extended PIP? 

 

So the equation that's in my head is since extended PIP brings medical and lost income to 80% each $4,000 would be $3,200 so added together his insurance with extended PIP should pay $6,400.... So how is the answer on the quiz $7,200? That would be 90% medical and 90% lost income... Am I missing something? Is there a bit of information not on the question that should be? The one question keeps nagging me in my mind so I need some sort of explanation, equation, and closure please. Thank you!

Shiloh,

Extended PIP increases medical expense from 80% to 100% and work loss expense from 60% to 80%.

Medical benefits paid at $4000 and income loss paid at $3200 = $7200

Hello, 

Thanks for the reply. This is where I was getting confused.

On U3-L2-P5 it states: 

Extended PIP extends medical payment coverage from 100% to 80% and work loss coverage from 60% to 80%.

 

The wording is wrong (should say from 80% to 100%) and that's why I was confused.

Thank you!

This is great information. I found section 3 the most difficult and questioned this answer as well.

Extended PIP he has 100% coverage on Mecical so he recives $4,000 and 60% of his income. 80% of 4,000 is 3,200 so  the ins company pays him $7,200.
