Answer 2

10.50 x 52 = 546
so he pays 546 annually himself

Answer 3

and i'm stuck here

Answer 4

So his employer pays 70% and which means he pays the remaining 30%

And you calculated that of the total premium 'x', he pays $546 which is 30% of the total

Does that make sense?

So all you do is set up a proportion

546/x = 30/100

Answer 5

1,820?
