Thea's house was damaged during a natural disaster. The total repair cost is estimated to be $⁢15,000 If Thea's home insurance policy has a deductible of $⁢500 and a coverage limit of $⁢200,000 , how much will the insurance company pay for the repairs?

Thea pays the $500 deductible first. The insurance company covers the remaining repair cost: $15,000 − $500 = $14,500. Since the $14,500 claim is below the $200,000 coverage limit, the insurer pays $14,500, choice A.
