Answer: $16.8

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that the assistant's biweekly health insurance premium is $84.00 and that Dr. Olson pays 80% of it and the assistant pays 20%.

To calculate the amount that's withheld from each of the assistant's biweekly paychecks for health insurance will be:

= 20% × $84.00

= 20/100 × $84.00

= 0.2 × $84.00

= $16.8
