The first insurance claims for a specific year submitted by a person are for two​ x-rays. The first​ x-ray cost ​$​620 and the second​ x-ray cost ​$930 . How​ much, in​ total, will he need to pay for these​ x-rays? He will be responsible for $ ???

Answer 1

Answer:

$670

Step-by-step explanation:

The total cost of both x-rays are $1550.

$620 + $930 = $1550

He needs to pay a $150 deductible, leaving $1400.

$1550 - $150 = $1400

Since the company covers 70%, the person has to pay 30% of 1400.

30% = 0.3

$1400 × 0.3 = $520

The total cost of the 30% and the deductible is $670.

$150 + $520 = $670
