Question

A company pays 75 percent of each employee's medical care premium. If the employee portion is $50 per month and there are 100 employees total, how much does the company pay each month for employee medical benefits?

Answer 1

So 100x50 is 5000


I think you also divide 5000 by 75%

Answer 2

Answer:

C)  $15,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the company pays 75 percent of each employee's medical care premium, so the employee portion would be 25 percent.

We have been given that employee portion is $50 per month. so we have

$25\% \text{ portion}=\ 50\\\\\Rightarrow 1\% \text{ portion}=\frac{\ 50}{25}\\\\\Rightarrow 75\% \text{ portion}=\frac{\ 50}{25}\cdot 75=\ 150$

so the company paying 150 dollars per month for each employee and there are total 100 employees. So the total employee medical benefits paid by the company per month is

$\\\ 150\times 100=\ 15000$
