Question

5. The health insurance company will pay 90% of the knee replacement surgery for Mrs. Pollard, after she pays a $500 deductible. The cost of her surgery is $31,700. How much will Mrs. Pollard pay for the surgery?

Answer 1

Answer: 2,670

Explanation:

31,700 x 90%

31,700 x 0.9=28,530

31,700-28530= 3,170

3,170 - 500 deductible already taken=

2,670

Answer 2

$28,143. Not 100% sure this is right, I checked with a calculator to make sure. This is what I get for the answer everytime. Hope this helps.

Explanation:

$31,770 - $500 = $31,270

$31,270 * 90% = $28,143
