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:

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