Answer:

$127.50

Explanation:

We have been given that Braden's employers covers 70% of the cost of a $5100-per-year health insurance plan.

First of all, we will find annual amount of health insurance plan paid by Braden by finding 30% (100-70) of $5100.


\text{Annual amount paid by Braden for health insurance}=(30)/(100)* \$5100


\text{Annual amount paid by Braden for health insurance}=0.30* \$5100


\text{Annual amount paid by Braden for health insurance}=\$1530

Now, we will divide $1530 by 12 to find amount deducted from Braden's paycheck each month.


\text{Monthly deduction for health insurance}=(\$1530)/(12)


\text{Monthly deduction for health insurance}=\$127.50

Therefore, an amount of $127.50 is deducted from Braden's paycheck each month for health insurance.
