See the noun definition.
500 is correct
To determine how much Jeff will have to pay, we need to consider his deductible and the estimate provided by the body shop.
Jeff has a $500 deductible, which means he is responsible for paying that amount towards the repair costs. The estimate provided by the body shop is $3,725.
To calculate the amount Jeff will have to pay, we subtract his deductible from the estimate:
$3,725 - $500 = $3,225
Therefore, Jeff will have to pay $3,225. The correct answer is $3,225.
