Answer 2

Given:

Anton must pay a co-pay of $30 for an office visit.

His insurance company will then pay 85% of the cost of the visit.

Office visit costs $270

Solution:

$co-pay \; =\; \ 30$

$Insurance \; Company \; pay = 85\% \; of\; 270 = \frac{85}{100} \cdot 270 = \frac{22950}{100}=\ 22950\\ \\ Anton \; Pay\; remaining \; of\; what\; Insurance\; Company\; pay.\\ \\ So, \; Anton \; Pay = \ 270 - \ 229.50=\ 40.5$

Conclusion:

Anton totally Pay = Remaining amount for office visit + Co-pay for office visit

$Anton \; pay \; for\; an \; office \; visit \; that\; costs \; \ 270\; = \; \ 30 \; + \; \ 40.5\; =\; \ 70.5$
