Question

Carole is a veterinary assistant. Her employer pays 75% of her medical insurance and 40% of her dental insurance. Medical insurance costs 3,900 per year and dental insurance costs $750 a year

Answer 1

The Answer is that Carole pays a total of $1,425 annually or if she gets paid weekly, $27.41 per week.

Explanation:

For Medical Insurance, the company pays 75% of $3,900:

$3,900 * .75 = $2,925.

The difference, which Carole will pay is:

$3,900 * .25 = $975.

For Dental Insurance, the company pays 40% of $750:

$750 * .40 = $300.

The difference, which Carole will pay is:

$750 * .60 = $450.

The total she will pay annually is:

$975 + $450 = $1,425 annually.

If she gets paid by the week, that will be divided by 52:

$1,425 / 52 = $27.41 per paycheck.
