Answer 2

$1644.

Explanation:

We have been a typical household in the United States has an average after-tax income of $41,100. We are asked to find how much more is spent on insurance/pensions than on health care.

We have been given that 5% is spent on health care and 9% is spent on insurance/pensions. This means that 4% (9%-5%) is more on insurance/pensions than on health care.

Now, we need to find 4% of $41,100.

`\text{Amount more spent on insurance/pensions than on health care}=(4)/(100)* \$41,100`

`\text{Amount more spent on insurance/pensions than on health care}=4* \$411`

`\text{Amount more spent on insurance/pensions than on health care}=\$1644`

Therefore, $1644 is more spent on insurance/pensions than on health care.
