Answer: Amount more paid by Yodhi is $50 each month.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Initial amount of insurance premium per month = $500

Percentage of total cost of his family's health insurance paid by employer = 80%

Remaining % paid by Yodhi = 80%

Now, Amount of insurance premium per month increased to = $750

so, Difference between them becomes


\$750-\$500\\\\=\$250

so, amount paid by Yodhi more each month is given by


(20)/(100)* $250\\\\=0.2* \$250\\\\=\$50

Hence, amount more paid by Yodhi is $50 each month.
