Question

Vivian's insurance company pays for 80% of her foot surgery after she pays a $500 deductible. How much will Vivian pay for her surgery if it costs $9600?

Answer 1

Given that the insurance pays 80% of the cost of surgery and the surgery cost $9600, the amount of money Vivian will pay will be given as follows:
20/100×9600
=$1960
since she will cater for the deductibles that amount to $500 before the insurance takes over, then the total amount she will have to pay will be:
1960+500
=$2420
