Answer:

[tex]\$157.50[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the amount pay on monthly basis is shown below:

But before that we need to find out the annual amount pay which is to be find out by applying the following formula

[tex]= Purchase\ value \times \frac {insurance\ premium}{percentage}[/tex]

where,

Purchase value of the house is $450,000

Insurance premium is $0.42

Percentage is $100

Now put these values to the above formula

So, the annual amount pay is

[tex]= \$450,000 \times \frac {\$0.42}{\$100}[/tex]

[tex]= \$1,890[/tex]

Now the monthly paying amount is

[tex]= \frac{Annual\ amount\ pay}{total\ number\ of\ months\ in\ a\ year}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{\$1,890}{12\ months}[/tex]

[tex]= \$157.50[/tex]
