Question

Felicity's insurance company pays for 65% of her elbow surgery, after she pays a $500 deductible.

How much will Felicity pay for her elbow surgery if it costs $9400?

A. $3290
B. $3465
C. $3615
D. $3790

Answer 1

Its going to be D. $3790
Because you first have to take 9400•0.65= 6110
Then you subtract that from the total amount and the deductible like so:
9400-6110-500=3790
And that is how you come up with D as the answer

Answer 2

C

9400 – 500(deductible)

The remainder is 8900, and the company pays for 65% of that. That means Felicity pays 35%.

35% of 8900 is 3115. Add on the 500 deductible and she pays 3615 in total.
