To determine the total amount Norma has paid over the 7 months, we need to sum up all the monthly payments she made, as listed under the "Payment received" column in the table.

From the table:
- Month 1: [tex]$50.00 - Month 2: $[/tex]66.00
- Month 3: [tex]$65.56 - Month 4: $[/tex]65.12
- Month 5: [tex]$64.69 - Month 6: $[/tex]64.26
- Month 7: [tex]$63.83 Adding them all together gives us: \[ 50.00 + 66.00 + 65.56 + 65.12 + 64.69 + 64.26 + 63.83 \] The total amount of payments made by Norma over these 7 months is: \[ \$[/tex]439.46
\]

Thus, the correct answer is:

A. [tex]\(\$ 439.46\)[/tex]
