Question

Reka Rahim is employed at Damon's Deli. She has family medical coverage through the group medical plan that Damon's Deli provides to its

employees. The annual cost of Rahim's family membership is $3800. The company pays 31 percent of the cost. How much is deducted from
her biweekly paycheck for medical insurance?
А
$540.00
С
$100.85
B
$298.00
D
$43.76

Answer 1

Answer: C) $100.85

Explanation:

The total cost of Reka's health insurance = $3,800

Her employer pays = $3,800 x 0.31 = $1,178

Reka pays = $3,800 - $1,178 = $2,622

There are 52 weeks in a year, so the amount deducted is 52 / 2 = 26 times per year

Amount deducted per biweekly payment = $2,622 / 26 = $100.85
