Question

An employee plays $300 towards health insurance, while the employer pays $575. What is the ratioof the employers contribution to the employees contribution?

Answer 1

Employee pays toward health insurance is E= $300.

Employer pays toward health insurance is E' = $575.

Determine the ratio of employers contribution and employee contribution.

`\begin{gathered} (E^(\prime))/(E)=(575)/(300) \\ =(115)/(60) \\ =(23)/(12) \end{gathered}`

So ratio of employers contribution to the employees contribution is 23:12.

Answer: 23:12
