To determine the total amount Benjamin has made in payments over the 7 months, we need to sum up all the individual payments he has made each month. According to the given table, the monthly payments are as follows:

1. Month 1: \[tex]$0.00 2. Month 2: \$[/tex]48.00
3. Month 3: \[tex]$47.80 4. Month 4: \$[/tex]47.60
5. Month 5: \[tex]$47.40 6. Month 6: \$[/tex]47.20
7. Month 7: \[tex]$47.01 We add these payments together to find the total amount paid: \[ \$[/tex]0.00 + \[tex]$48.00 + \$[/tex]47.80 + \[tex]$47.60 + \$[/tex]47.40 + \[tex]$47.20 + \$[/tex]47.01 = \[tex]$285.01 \] Thus, the total amount Benjamin has made in payments over the 7 months is \(\$[/tex]285.01\).
