Question

With a certain medical insurance​ policy, the customer must first pay an annual ​$300 ​deductible, and then the policy covers ​80% of the cost of​ x-rays. The first insurance claims for a specific year submitted by a person are for two​ x-rays. The first​ x-ray cost ​$630​, and the second​ x-ray cost ​$960. How​ much, in​ total, will he need to pay for these​ x-rays?

Answer 1

558 dollars

Explanation:

Total charge = 630 + 960 = 1590 dollars

he pays 300 deductible

now the charge balance is 1590 -300 = 1290 dollars

then he must pay 20 % of this (insurance pays 80%)

so total to pay is $ 300 + .20 (1290) = $558
