llowed amount is 7/ 8 of what the doctors office charges. Of that allowed amount they will pay 3 /4 and Ross will be out of pocket 1 /4 . If Ross had to pay $262.50, how much did the office want to charge for the procedure?

Answer:

\large \boxed{\$1200.00}

Step-by-step explanation:

              Let the office charge  = x

     Amount paid by Medicare = ⅞x

Amount paid by Ross = ¼(⅞x) = $262.50

 

Solve for x

\begin{array}{rcrl}\dfrac{1}{4} \left(\dfrac{7}{8}x \right ) & = & \$262.50 & \\\dfrac{7}{32}x & = & \$262.50 & \text{Multiplied the fractions}\\\\7x & = & \$8400.00 & \text{Multiplied each side by 32}\\x & = & \mathbf{\$1200.00} & \text{Divided each side by 7}\\\end{array}\\\text{The office wanted to charge } \large \boxed{\mathbf{\$1200.00}}

Check:

\begin{array}{rcl}\dfrac{1}{4} \left(\dfrac{7}{8}\times \$1200.00 \right ) & = & \$262.50\\\\\dfrac{1}{4} \left(\$1050.00 \right ) & = & \$262.50\\\\\$262.50 & = & \$262.50\\\end{array}

OK.

What is the value of theta for the acute angle in a right triangle?
balu736 [363]

we are given

sin(\theta)=cos(73)

we have to find theta

so, firstly we can write sin in terms of cos

sin(\theta)=cos(90-\theta)

now, we can set it equal

cos(90-\theta)=cos(73)

Since, both sides are cos

so, we can set angles equal

90-\theta=73

now, we can solve for theta

we get

\theta=17..............Answer
