Answer: Option 'A' is correct.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Percentage of her health insurance premium paid by her employer = 75%

And deducts the remainder from her paycheck

Percentage of her health insurance paid from her paycheck is given by


100-75\\\\=25\%

She Rosalie is paid biweekly, means every two week she is paying the premium.

As we know that there is 52 weeks in a year

so, for biweekly , there will be 26 weeks for her to pay the premium.

Amount of annual premium = $8550

So, cost of her biweekly amount is given by


(8550)/(26)\\\\=\$328.84

Amount that will be deducted from her paycheck for health insurance is given by


\$328.84* 0.25\\\\=\$82.21

Hence, Option 'A' is correct.
