Answer: The answer is 337,5

Explanation:  

First step: The insurance policy was paid for 3 years, we have to know how many months there are in 3 years. We calculate (3 years x 12 months = 36 Months). Then the insurance policy was paid for 36 months.

Second step: The amount paid was $ 1350. We have to know how much corresponds to each month. We calculate (1350/36 months = 37.5 each month)

Third step: We must count the months from April 1 to December 31. It's 9 months.

Fourth step: Multiply the amount of each month by the number of months between April and December (9). We calculate (37.5 x 9 = 337.5)
