Question

Mark Simpson earns $980 biweekly as a security guard for Albany Med. His group medical insurance costs $7,000 a year. The company pays 90% of the cost of medical insurance. How much is deducted from Marks biweekly paycheck for medical coverage

Answer 1

$26.923

Step-by-step explanation:

Biweekly payment means payments every 14 days or 2 weeks. One year has 52 weeks. Mark is paid 26 times per year

if the company pays 90% of $7000, then Mark pays 10% of $7000

Mark pays = 10/100 x $7000

=0.1 x $7000

=$700

The amount of $700 is spread over 26 weeks.

Each paycheck, Mark will be deducted

=$700/26

=$26.923 per check
