Emilee's insurance company pays for 50% of her wrist surgery after she pays a$151 deductible. How much will Emilee pay for her wrist surgery if it costs $9,156?Round answer to the nearest whole number. Do not include the units.

Answer 1

Solution

Total cost of wrist surgery = $9156

Deductable payment = $151

$9156-151=9005$

insurance company pays for 50%

$\begin{gathered} 50\text{ \% of 9005} \\ \frac{50}{100}\times9005 \\ =4502.5 \end{gathered}$

Hence the Emilee will pay the balance

$\begin{gathered} 9005-4502.5 \\ =\text{ \ }4502.5 \end{gathered}$

Hence the cost of Emilee wrist surgery to the nearest whole number = 4503

Therefore Emilee will pay 4503 for her wrist surgery
