Question

Patty Randall's insurance costs $3,400.

If Elgin Power, her employer, pays 40%, how much does Patty pay?

Answer 1

Elgin Power will pay 40% of Patty's insurance cost, which is $1,360.

Patty pays $2,040 for insurance.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much Patty pays, we can start by calculating the amount that Elgin Power will pay.

Elgin Power will pay 40% of Patty's insurance cost, which is $3,400.

So, Elgin Power will pay :

= 40% * $3,400

= $1,360.

To find out how much Patty pays, we subtract the amount that Elgin Power pays from the total cost.

Patty pays $3,400 - $1,360

= $2,040.

So, Patty pays $2,040 for insurance.
