hows that ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you mean 379.20 ? cause what you gave me isnt one of my answers.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

@Kentie hw u got 349.2 .... can u pls explan....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the answer B ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

since, only $150 is deductible from your insurance coverage, you will have to pay 624 - 150 = 474

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

im not sure... what "deductible" implies here. 474 is what i think.. not sure lol :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but it also says 80% in the equation.. where does that come in at ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ughh can someone help me ? /:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry,my miscalculation...the answer is $474

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

@Lil-Bit012 here is the explanation : 80 % of the bill = .8 * 624 = $499.2 but only $150 is available in your account. so.... you have to pay 624-150 @Kentie correct me here if im wrong...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

80%=$499.2 20%=$124.8 100%=$624(full payment) $150 is diductable,$624-$150=$474

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The $150 deductible means that you pay the first $150 of the bill. That leaves $624 -$150 which is $474 yet to be paid. The 80% medical coverage means that the insurance covers / pays 80% of the $474 and you pay 20% of the $474 Thus, the insurance pays $379.20 and you pay $94.80. Hence, you will have to pay $150 plus $94.80 for a total of $244.80. The correct answer is a. $244.80
