Question

Boris Heban is single and pays into an HMO. The total cost is $8,190 annually, and the employer pays 90 percent of the total cost. He also pays 50 percent of the optional annual dental premium of $662 and 50 percent of the optional vision premium of $188. How much is deducted each week from his paycheck?

Answer 1

so Boris has to pay:
10% * 8190 = 819
50% * 662 = 331
50% * 188 = 94

so in total he pays: 819 + 331 + 94 = 1244

deducted each week is (52 weeks in a year):
1244/52 = 23.92

so each week $23.92 are deducted from his paycheck
