Rosa's employer pays 50% of her health insurance premium and deducts theremainder from her paycheck. Rosa is paid weekly and the annual premium is$12,658. How much is deducted from her paycheck for health insurance? Roundanswer to the hundredths place. If the answer doesn't have a hundredths placethen use zeros so that it does.

Answer 1

We have to calculate how much is the annual premium per week

`\frac{12658}{1\text{ year }}(\frac{1\text{ year}}{52\text{ weeks}})\text{ = }(12658)/(52)=\text{ \$243.42}`

If the employer deducts the 50% from her paycheck, then

243.42 (0.5) = $121.71
