Answer 2

Answer:

$127.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that Braden's employers covers 70% of the cost of a $5100-per-year health insurance plan.

First of all, we will find annual amount of health insurance plan paid by Braden  by finding 30% (100-70) of $5100.

$\text{Annual amount paid by Braden for health insurance}=\frac{30}{100}\times \ 5100$

$\text{Annual amount paid by Braden for health insurance}=0.30\times \ 5100$

$\text{Annual amount paid by Braden for health insurance}=\ 1530$

Now, we will divide $1530 by 12 to find amount deducted from Braden's paycheck each month.

$\text{Monthly deduction for health insurance}=\frac{\ 1530}{12}$

$\text{Monthly deduction for health insurance}=\ 127.50$

Therefore, an amount of $127.50 is deducted from Braden's paycheck each month for health insurance.
