Question

anonymous · Answer

5236x.85= 4450.6 ( how much your employer pays)

Simply subtract his 85% from the total of your premium to get your share

Do proportions, so its asking your share so 100-85=15
$$\frac{ 15 }{ 100 }=\frac{ x }{ 5236 }$$Cross-multiply$$78540=100x$$Divide by 100 to get x by itself
$$785.4=x$$
