Annual phone bill = 70 x 12

Annual phone bill = 840

Also she spends 167 per year on student health insurance.

This means;


\begin{gathered} \text{Phone bill=}840 \\ \text{Health insurance=167} \\ The\text{ percentage of phone bill to student health insurance is;} \\ \text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{phone bill}}{health\text{ insurance}}*100 \\ \text{Percentage}=(840)/(167)*100 \\ \text{Percentage}=502.994 \\ \text{Percentage}\approx503 \end{gathered}

The result shows that the money Susan spends on her cell phone bill annually is approximately 503% of her annual health insurance
