Question

Your last doctor’s visit cost $105. Health insurance through your employer paid $84, and you paid the remaining $21. What percentage of the cost did you pay?

Answer 1

20% percentage of the cost you pay .

Explanation:

Formula

`Percentage = (Part\ value* 100)/(Total\ value)`

As given

Your last doctor’s visit cost $105.

Health insurance through your employer paid $84, and you paid the remaining $21.

Part value = $21

Total value = $105

Put all the values in the formula

`Percentage = (21* 100)/(105)`

`Percentage = (2100)/(105)`

Percentage = 20%

Therefore the 20% percentage of the cost you pay .

Answer 2

Since you paid $21 of the total $105, you can divide 21 by 105 to get your answer.
21/105 = 1/5 = 0.2 = 20%
You paid 20% of the cost.
