Answer 1

ANSWER:

Total co-payment made by June is $510.

SOLUTION:

Given, June’s health insurance policy requires a co-payment of $35 for each office visit.

And a co-payment of $25 for each of her prescription drugs.

June had 6 office visits last year and filled 12 prescriptions.  

We need to find the total co-payments of June.

Total co-payment = co-payment for office visits + co-payments for prescription drugs

Now, co-payment for office visits = co-payment for each office visit $\times$ number of office visits

Co-payment for office visits = 35 $\times$ 6  = 210

Therefore, co-payments for office visits are $210

Now, co-payment for prescription drugs = co-payment for each prescription $\times$ number of prescriptions

Co-payment for prescription drugs = 25 $\times$ 12  = 300

Therefore, co-payments for prescription drugs are $300

Now, Total copayment = copayment for office visits + copayments for prescription drugs

= 210 + 300  = 510

Hence total copayments made by June is $510.
