Answer 2

$50.81

Explanation:

We have been given that Mrs. Keller’s employer pays 90% of her health insurance premium and deducts the remainder from her paycheck.

First of all let us find the 10% of 12,194 as Mrs. Keller pays 10% (100-90) of her health insurance premium.

`\text{The amount paid by Mrs. Keller for her premium}=(10)/(100)*\$12,194`

`\text{The amount paid by Mrs. Keller for her premium}=0.10*\$12,194`

`\text{The amount paid by Mrs. Keller for her premium}=\$1219.4`

To find the let us divide amount total paid by Mrs. Keller for her health insurance by 24 as semimonthly means 24 times in a year.

`\text{The amount deducted from Mrs. Keller's each paycheck}=(\$1219.4)/(24)`

`\text{The amount deducted from Mrs. Keller's each paycheck}=\$50.80833\approx \$50.81`

Therefore, approximately $50.81 is deducted from Mrs. Keller's each paycheck.
