Answer:

Megan will have to pay $2, 260 for surgery.

Explanation:

1. Translate percent into decimal:

90% -> 0.9

2. Multiply (to find out how much the insurance company pays):

(0.9)(14, 600) = 13, 140

3. Subtract:

14, 600 - 13, 140 = 1, 460

4. Add (to find out how much Megan pays):

1, 460 + 800 = 2, 260
