One person was awarded $150,000, and each of the other two was awarded $95,000. How much will the insurance company pay for these lawsuits

$290,000

Total number of people injured = 5

1 person received = 150000

And 2 received 95000

This means that the insurance company will give the first person 100,000 and the remaining two 95,000 each making a Total of

100000 + 95000 + 95000

= $290,000.
